== Fun facts ==
* 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. State senator Billy Ray proposed a bill asking for a non-binding referendum. The bill was passed in the state senate but failed to pass in the House, and the effort to revoke the city's charter was unsuccessful. The city council responded to this effort by reducing the utility's prices to be comparable to the surrounding area.
* Before the city was incorporated, the area was part of a route from the railroad in Buford to the city of Cumming. According to tradition, the town was named after an incident where a large shipment of sugar spilled and the area became known as "the hill where the sugar spilled" or "the sugar hill".
* Sugar Hill is mostly residential, and has a little bit of amenities to offer. It has dollar stores, a Publix, Nintendo World, Gary Pinkle Park, some public battle fields, three sports complexes, a little bit of local restaurants and businesses, a few auto parts places and car dealerships, Big Lots, The Diner at Sugar Hill, a little bit of fast food and chain restaurants, Frontera Mex-Mex Grill, and a few other things.
