The City of Duluth is proud to share national recognition of a historic milestone in our community. Sarah Park has made history as the first immigrant woman elected to serve on the Duluth City Council, an achievement featured by CBS News Atlanta.

Park, who moved to Duluth from South Korea over two decades ago, credits her success to the city’s welcoming spirit and the support of residents across our community.

Her campaign, which launched last August, drew on her extensive experience in local government and her role as a co-owner of Alchemist On the Divide. Park’s leadership has been shaped by years of public service and community engagement.

Park’s inauguration also coincided with a proclamation recognizing Korean American Day, an observance that will also be recognized at the Georgia State Capitol.

As Duluth continues to grow and evolve, Councilmember Park’s historic achievement underscores the city’s commitment to representation and opportunity for all who call Duluth home.
