Friendship Road has rich history and many trials
Placeholder Image
It’s no wonder residents along Friendship Road in southern Hall County are so passionate in resisting a change in the road’s name to Lanier Islands Parkway. The road and community have a rich history, and residents have fought numerous battles to preserve Friendship’s identity, most of them losing causes. One of the biggest was the reopening of a quarry that first opened to supply rock for the building of nearby Buford Dam in the 1950s.
