Editing Duluth, Georgia (section)

===Post-war and modern era===
Duluth grew rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s, along with the rest of Gwinnett County. Georgia Governor [[George Busbee]] became a resident of Duluth in 1983 after leaving office, moving to the Sweet Bottom Plantation subdivision developed by Scott Hudgens. A major revitalization of the Duluth downtown area was undertaken in the early 21st century. Development along Sugarloaf Parkway has continued with the construction of the Gwinnett Arena near the Gwinnett Convention Center.

In much of the 20th century, when Gwinnett County was still rural, Duluth was known in the area as being one of the few small towns with its own hospital, Joan Glancy Memorial Hospital. Consequently, many older residents of the area who call other towns home were actually born in Duluth. Joan Glancy was replaced with [[Gwinnett Medical Center]] – Duluth in 2006. The site of the old Joan Glancy hospital is now GMC's Glancy Campus, home to the Glancy Rehabilitation Center, the Duluth location of GMC's Diabetes & Nutrition Education Center and the Duluth location of GMC's Center for Sleep Disorder.

The city made national headlines twice in 2005. In March, [[Fulton County, Georgia|Fulton County]] Courthouse shooting suspect [[Brian Nichols]] was captured in a Duluth apartment after holding a woman hostage. In April, local resident [[Jennifer Wilbanks]] was reported missing a few days before her planned wedding to John Mason. She was found a few days later in [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]], where she admitted to having lied about being [[kidnapping|kidnapped]].
