Rest Haven is a town primarily in northern Gwinnett and partly in southern Hall counties in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, it had a total population of 62.
Rest Haven is located along Georgia State Route 13, a highway from Atlanta to Gainesville that is immediately west of Interstate 985. The Gwinnett County portion of Rest Haven is part of the Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Marietta, GA-AL Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the Hall County portion is part of the Gainesville, GA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The town was granted a municipal charter in 1938. [4]
It was announced on September 19, 2005, that the town leaders wished to be annexed into Buford, a much larger city which surrounds Rest Haven except on the north. A previous attempt to do so in 2001 ended in a lawsuit and a judge ordered Rest Haven to remain a city. Some property owners have already de-annexed from the town and annexed into Buford. ()
State law prohibits annexation of one city into another, so the town would first have to vote in a referendum to dissolve. It would then go through the annexation process, requiring approval of the Buford city council and a second referendum of the former Rest Haven residents.
Additional legal battles ensued in 2015 by some local residents' request to be annexed by Buford, which was granted. [5]
As of 2022, the city of Rest Haven still exists with Mayor Kenneth Waycaster. All planning, zoning, utilities, and permitting are completed by Buford. [5]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2), all land.
