Biohazard Cleanup Near Amberleaf Lilburn, GA

Lilburn is a city in western Gwinnett County, Georgia, in the Atlanta metropolitan area, with neighborhoods that include Amber Hills, Arcadian Hills and Brentwood Downs.

Lilburn was founded in 1890 by the Seaboard Air Line Railway on land previously known as McDaniel, and was renamed for Lilburn Trigg Myers of Virginia, the railroad's general superintendent — a link local researchers did not confirm until the 1990s.

The town was incorporated as Lilburn on July 27, 1910, but a devastating fire and hard economic times in the 1920s ended its early prosperity.

Lilburn's population was 14,502 at the 2020 census, up 25.1 percent from 11,596 in 2010, and the Census Bureau estimated it had grown further to 16,369 by July 1, 2025.

At the 2000 census Lilburn had 11,307 people in 3,943 households, and the city today covers about 6.4 square miles, almost all of it land.

Lilburn is home to the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, inaugurated in August 2007 and described by Explore Georgia as the largest Hindu mandir in the United States.

The mandir was assembled from more than 34,000 individual stone pieces hand-carved in India — Turkish limestone, Italian Carrara marble and Indian pink sandstone — and put together in Lilburn like a giant three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle in only 17 months using 1.3 million volunteer hours.

With its tallest pinnacle reaching about 75 feet on a roughly 30-acre campus, the BAPS mandir is the tallest structure in the city of Lilburn.

Lilburn's revived Old Town district, centered on the original historic railroad-era core, has emerged as a local center for shopping and restaurants.

City parks in Lilburn include Bryson Park, Lions Club Park and Lilburn City Park, and the Camp Creek Greenway Trail runs through the city with a trailhead near the BAPS mandir.
