Our Story
Built Around Community
Windsong Park is located in Dacula, GA. It was developed from an area of mostly farm land. The area was known as Hog Mountain and had been the location of Fort Daniel during the War of 1812. Fort Daniel Elementary School is located across the street from the subdivision. Many people still refer to the area as Hog Mountain and occasionally you will see a small traditional statue of a pig (hog) on the front sidewalks of homes.
Windsong has 137 homes with exceptionally large lots on winding streets, and many trees. Amenities include swim, tennis and a children’s play area.
The operations of the Homeowners Association is managed by a Board of Directors. The Declaration of Covenants and The Conditions and Restrictions were recorded in Gwinnett County Superior Court in 1994.

Hog Mountain History
Hog Mountain is located about 40 miles from Atlanta and 8 miles northeast of Lawrenceville. The community has roots dating back to the early 1800s when the area was in the possession of the native Cherokee. The name itself reflects the community’s agricultural heritage — it referred to the crossroads used by farmers driving their hogs to market
Fort Daniel, the Frontier, and Early Settlers
Fort Daniel was built in 1813 to protect the frontier from Native Americans aroused by the British during the War of 1812. When Peachtree Road was built in 1813, it connected Fort Daniel to Fort Peachtree about 30 miles west, on the Chattahoochee River.
As a strategic crossroads, Hog Mountain developed into a center for trade and commerce. The Hog Mountain House, located at Georgia Highway 324 and Georgia Highway 124/Braselton Highway, became the county’s first inn.
A mail route was authorized in 1821 from Monticello, Monroe, and Lawrenceville on to Gainesville by Hog Mountain. The community was a stop on the stagecoach service between Monticello and Gainesville, and Stone Mountain and Gainesville. The Hog Mountain Baptist Church opened in 1854.
From Rural to Modern
For nearly two centuries, Hog Mountain remained a quiet, agricultural community. Today, the historic crossroads has been incorporated into suburban growth, including the Hamilton Mill neighborhood, though the historic Hog Mountain sign at the original intersection remains a reminder of the area’s heritage.
Is There a Mountain?
Yes and no. The community’s name comes from the high ridge where farmers drove hogs to market in the early 19th century. So “Hog Mountain” is descriptive — it was the place with the ridge (the “mountain”) where the hog-driving happened. The ridge itself still exists; Hog Mountain is a low ridge with elevations ranging from about 918 feet to 1,198 feet.
It’s not a dramatic peak — more of a significant hill or ridge on the landscape that stood out enough in the early 1800s for farmers to use as a landmark when moving livestock to market.
