Lawrenceville Georgia Home Inspector

I perform home inspections in Lawrenceville, Georgia and the surrounding area. When looking for your home inspector, chose Inspect-It 1st Property Inspection, your Lawrenceville home inspector. Clients often ask me about the city of Lawrenceville. That prompted me to build a page with information about Lawrenceville's history and other information.

Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett County, Georgia.  It is also known as the Crepe Myrtle City. Lawrenceville was incorporated by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on  December 15, 1821. This makes Lawrenceville the second oldest city in the Metro Atlanta Area. The city is named after Commodore James Lawrence, commander of the Frigate Chesapeake during the War of 1812. Lawrence, a native of New Jersey, is probably best known today for his dying command, "Don't give up the ship!"

Several famous people born in Lawrenceville gained their fame elsewhere. Charles Henry Smith, born in 1826, left as a young man and lived most of his life in other Georgia towns. Beginning during the Civil War, he wrote humorous pieces for Atlanta newspapers under the name Bill Arp, the South's most popular writer of the late 19th century. Ezzard Charles, born in 1921, grew up in Cincinnati, where opportunities for African-Americans were far better at the time. He eventually was heavyweight boxing champion of the world. As a boy, Oliver Hardy, of Laurel & Hardy, lived in downtown Lawrenceville around 1900. But the future movie star's stay was brief. His family moved often within Georgia.

In down town Lawrenceville you are surrounded by performing arts, great dining, and unique shops, for fun, food, and furnishings as well as access to award-winning recreation facilities.
