The Johns Creek Community
Johns Creek was incorporated in 2006. It is a suburban community of approximately 76,728* people in a 32 square mile area located 30 miles northeast of Atlanta. The City government provides the majority of services, including Police and Fire. It has a City Council/City Manager form of government.
Facts about city services, permits, code enforcement, public safety, neighborhood meetings, events and other pertinent information are listed in City Information. Also in this section: 9-1-1 / emergency information, mass transportation options and major routes for getting around Johns Creek, and local media outlets.
There are many community resources available to serve residents, visitors and businesses, including community gardens; Park Place at Newtown School, Johns Creek's active adult center; libraries, cultural and medical facilities.
The community enjoys a number of free events. Founders Day is actually a week-long annual celebration of the city's official incorporation on Dec. 1, 2006. Movies in the Park are a family favorite, while Breakfast with Santa and the spring Easter Egg Hunt cater to our youngest citizens. Music in the Park steps it up a notch, and the Fall Family Festival has something for everyone.
The Chattahoochee River borders the length of Johns Creek, providing a diversity of leisure activities in addition to golf and tennis. With a mild climate, these are pretty much year-round sports and two of the most popular reasons why people relocate here.
Johns Creek is known for its vibrant neighborhoods, the majority of which have been developed since the 1980s. For many years, the area was a rural farming community.
Though a new municipality, the City of Johns Creek has already begun to identify steps we can take to try to achieve sustainability throughout our municipal services and operations.
