History of Gainesville
Gainesville was established as "Mule Camp Springs" in the 1800's. Less than 3 years after the creation of Hall County, it was chartered November 30, 1821. At the suggestion of Justice John Vance Cotter, it was given the name Gainesville in honor of General Edmund P. Gaines, a hero of the war of 1812 and a noted military surveyor and roadbuilder.

Gainesville is considered the Poultry Capital of the World.
