History of Grant Park
Grant Park is named after Col. Lemuel P. Grant, who was a civil engineer for the Georgia Railroad. Grant has been called the “Father of Atlanta” because of his role in bringing the railroad to Atlanta, which ultimately turned a very small community into the city we know today.
Grant served in the civil war as chief engineer for the Department Of The Militia, C.S.A., planning and supervising the construction of defensive lines around Atlanta. After the war, he continued to serve the city by helping to name streets, serving on the city council, serving as a board member of the Bank of the State of Georgia, and also by serving on the drafting committee for the new city of Atlanta charter in 1873.
Grant lived in a 1858 Italianate mansion in the center of his land, which is the present day Grant Park. He eventually gave and traded all of his property to the city of Atlanta. Grant’s property included all of the land on which the present day Grant Park and neighborhood, and the Oakland Cemetery now stand. The neighborhood was subdivided between 1885 and 1905. Between 1889-1898, Mr. G.V. Gress gave the city of Atlanta the zoo and Cyclorama which were added to Grant Park.
Grant Park was a popular neighborhood by the 1890’s for middle and upper middle class families. It remained very popular until after the turn of the century, when some Atlantans who could afford cars, were drawn to more distant neighborhoods like Druid Hills, Ansley Park and Buckhead. It wasn’t until the 1960’s when the neighborhood was divided by the construction of I-20 that the neighborhood began to decline. At this point the neighborhood was cut in half by the six-lane highway, and many residents left the community.
From the 70’s to the present there has been a consistent effort to restore Grant Park to the charming intown neighborhood that it once was. The neighborhood is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as Atlanta’s largest historic district. The city and residents have worked hard in recent years to turn around the years of decline suffered by Grant Park. Due to their efforts, Grant Park real estate has dramatically grown in popularity, and this historic neighborhood is on its way back to being a premier intown community.
