“Barrow County, the place to live, work, play, and retire, a people involving themselves in their community, a people believing in balanced, quality growth and support for services and infrastructure, and a place where taxes are a shared cost of living and the burden of funding an efficient, functional, responsive government is diversified by the efforts of the people. Barrow County: where people believe in themselves."

Douglas H. Garrison
Chairman

Barrow Cities:

-Auburn. The City of Auburn, Georgia is a friendly home town founded in 1892, and being conveniently located between Lawrenceville and Winder, Auburn provides a tradition of small-town Southern charm and hospitality without the hassles of big city life, and lies along the border between Barrow and Gwinnett Counties, in the metropolitan Atlanta area, but represents the best of small town life..

-Braselton. The Town of Braselton has a rich heritage and the unique characteristic of being located not only in Jackson County but also spanning into three additional counties: Hall, Gwinnett, and Barrow. Our dynamic community is the home to the world class amenity, Chateau Elan Winery and Resort. The resort attracts more than a half a million visitors a year and the adjoining Chateau Elan Golf and Residential community has thrived as part of Braselton. Add to this the excellent business location on the I-85 business corridor and you have a premier live, work, and play community that boasts an excellent quality of life.

-Winder.Winder, Georgia, in Barrow county, is 19 miles W of Athens, Georgia (center to center) and 41 miles NE of Atlanta, Georgia. The city benefits from easy access to the nearby cities and towns with which it shares the Atlanta metropolitan area.
