Cumming, the only incorporated city in Forsyth County, is home to over 5,000 Georgia residents. Parts of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Suwanee, and Gainesville are also located within Forsyth County.
Forsyth County has been one of the fastest growing areas in the United States in terms of percentage of growth for several years during the 2000s. The population growth was caused by the county’s proximity to Atlanta and its appeal as a commuter area for people working in the Atlanta area. The influx of high earning professionals increased the average income to a point where Forbes.com named it as the 13th wealthiest county in the United States in terms of median household income for 2008.
