History

The city of Lilburn was founded in 1890 by the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The area previously known as "McDaniel" was renamed "Lilburn" after the general superintendent of the railroad, Lilburn Trigg Myers of Virginia. The town was incorporated as Lilburn on July 27, 1910.[2]

A devastating fire and hard economic times in the 1920s ended the prosperity.[3] A revitalization of the original historic area has emerged with shopping and restaurants in the Old Town district which has been described as a "slice of history."[4]
