Mulberry, Georgia
Mulberry is an unincorporated community in Barrow County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
History[edit]
A post office called Mulberry was established in 1838, and remained in operation until 1914.[2] The community was named for mulberry trees near the original town site.[3]
Cityhood initiative[edit]
On January 8, 2024, Georgia (U.S. state) State House Majority Leader, Chuck Efstration, introduced legislation that would pave the way for the creation of the city of Mulberry located in Gwinnett County.[4] This city would be separate from the already established unincorporated Mulberry located in Barrow County. Efstration’s office worked with KB Advisory Group to develop a feasibility study for prospective cityhood.[4][5][1]
