The city was founded in 1872 after the railroad between Charlotte and Atlanta came through.
The city is named for Algernon Sidney Buford, a railroad president, and was once called "The Leather City" for the saddles, harnesses and shoes made by the Bona Allen Company.
Interstates 85 and 985 both pass through Buford, and the southern part of Lake Lanier, the city's main water source, and Lake Lanier Islands are in Buford.
Buford runs its own school system, the Buford City School District, for residents inside the city limits; the nearby Mall of Georgia uses a Buford mailing address but sits outside the city.
