Where Southern charm meets trendy living

Walkable Commutes Bike-Friendly Community Events Art Culture Historic

Originally named Howell's Crossing after a cotton merchant named Evan Howell, Duluth was renamed in 1871 after a flowery speech given in Congress by Rep. J. Proctor Knott condemning the expansion of the railroad to Duluth, Minnesota as wasteful. The over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek description of the northern city inspired residents of the Georgia town to rename their community Duluth. Today, Downtown Duluth is a busy, attractive suburb of Atlanta, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment.

Downtown Duluth has a town green, located along Main Street on the southwest side of City Hall. Historic Downtown Duluth features a variety of businesses, theaters, gift stores, art galleries, and cafes. Some favorite downtown destinations include the Maple Street Biscuit Company, the Good Word Brewing & Public House, and the Red Clay Music Foundry. Downtown Duluth hosts a variety of festivals and events, including Art Week, the Duluth Fall Festival, Howl on the Green, and the Muddbuggs and Music Crawfish Festival.
