Mulberry is a city in northeastern Gwinnett County, in the U.S. state of Georgia. It was created in 2024.
History
A post office called Mulberry was established in 1838, and remained in operation until 1914. The community was named for mulberry trees near the original town site.
Cityhood initiative
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. 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. Mulberry cityhood was approved on May 21, 2024 in an election held that day.
On January 1, 2025, the City of Mulberry began operations with Michael Coker elected as the city's first mayor.
