Braselton, Georgia
Braselton, Georgia
Braselton is a town in Barrow,
Gwinnett, Hall, and Jackson Counties in Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of
Atlanta. Census Estimates for 2005 show a population of 2,294. Braselton was
named after the Braselton family that has lived in the area for some time.
The town was bought from the Braselton Families by a partnership between the
Ameritech Pension fund and actress Kim Basinger in 1989 for $20 million. The
Basinger-Braselton partnership hoped to establish Braselton as a tourist
attraction with movie studios and a film festival. Basinger eventually sold
her minor portion to the Ameritech Fund when she met financial difficulties.
Local rumor is that she couldn't afford Braselton and had to file
bankruptcy.
The town is now under the ownership of developer Wayne Mason. Braselton is
the home of Chateau Elan Winery. It is also the headquarters of the American
Junior Golf Association, IMSA, the Panoz Motor Sports Group, and the Road
Atlanta race track. Also found in Braselton are the newly arrived major
distribution warehouses for Sears Appliance Division, Tractor Supply,
Haverty's Furniture and Home Depot Distribution Center.
The area around Braselton, Georgia has experienced rapid growth in the
recent years, though there are still some areas of Braselton that have
maintained its unique 'Southern' touch.
