Mulberry is a city in northeastern Gwinnett County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. It was created in 2024.[1] It is 30 sqmi with a population of 42,000 people.[citation needed]

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 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] Mulberry cityhood was approved on May 21, 2024 in an election held that day.[6]

On January 1, 2025, the City of Mulberry began operations with Michael Coker elected as the city's first mayor.[7]
