Gainesville has received many titles over the years because of its' location and because of its' people. The most notable are "Queen City of the Mountains" and the "Poultry Capital of the World". Our most recent designation came during 1996 when we served as host for the 1996 Olympic Rowing/Kayaking Venue. An NBC broadcaster called Gainesville, "Hospitality Capital of the World." We are proud of our location and proud of our heritage.
Gainesville has received recent recognition from Barron's Magazine where in a 2003 article Gainesville was named one of the best places to retire and from Men's Journal where in a 2007 article Gainesville was named as one the 50 best place to live.
Brenau University's Center for Lifetime Study/ BULLI is an incredible asset to explore.
