Buckhead
by Susan Kessler Barnard
Buckhead is a magical neighborhood in north Atlanta that has come to be internationally known for its tree-canopied streets and some of the most sought-after real estate in the country. Referred to by many as the Beverly Hills of the South, Buckhead has been home to many of the South's most prestigious families and established companies. Originally a Native American river village, following the War of 1812 and seizure of the Creek Indian Nation land by the federal government in 1821, settlers established the community known as Buck's Head by 1838. The ensuing 150 years has seen the direct impact of several wars, the Depression, riots and murders, racial conflict, and the establishment of black neighborhoods, with Buckhead arriving at its place today as an international business center and playground for southern society. Whether a place to work, live, or play, Buckhead remains "a place for all time".
