Sugar Hill is a city in northern Gwinnett County in the U.S. state of Georgia, included within the Metro Atlanta area.

[10] In 2001, a drastic increase in natural gas prices, disproportionate to the cost of natural gas outside of Sugar Hill, resulted in residents forming "The Committee to Dissolve Sugar Hill", with over 1,600 residents signing a petition calling for a referendum to abolish both the municipal utility and the city itself.

[11] State senator Billy Ray proposed a bill asking for a non-binding referendum.

[12] The city council responded to this effort by reducing the utility's prices to be comparable to those in the surrounding area.

Georgia State Route 20 is the main highway through the center of Sugar Hill, leading northwest 11 miles (18 km) to Cumming and south 12 miles (19 km) to Lawrenceville, the Gwinnett County seat.

[16] Sugar Hill receives abundant rainfall distributed fairly evenly throughout the year, as is typical of southeastern cities, with February on average having the highest average precipitation at 5.3 inches (130 mm), and April typically being the driest month with 3.7 inches (94 mm).

[21] On April 28, 2011, Governor Nathan Deal signed legislation that allowed individual local communities to vote on whether to allow alcohol sales on Sundays, which had previously been prohibited by the Georgia General Assembly since the 1800s.

[22] A total of 97 cities and counties in Georgia held referendums on November 8, 2011,[23] including Sugar Hill.

[25] In 2012, the remaining areas of Gwinnett County that did not hold November 8 referendums voted to allow Sunday sales.

[28] In 1975, when the new charter was enacted that reincorporated the Town of Sugar Hill as the City of Sugar Hill, it added the requirement that a councilmen be appointed as mayor pro tempore, and retained the election method established in 1952.

Gwinnett County Public Library operates the Buford-Sugar Hill Branch in Buford.
