Peoplestown is a neighborhood of Atlanta just south of Center Parc Stadium and Downtown Atlanta.

History

1890 ad for Washington Heights subdivision along Washington, south of Ormond Street.

In 1885, the Atlanta Electric Railway built a line along Capitol Avenue, and construction of housing began in what is now Peoplestown. The neighborhood is named for the Peoples family, who owned land there. The neighborhood developed white, integrated, and black sections. The white sections were mostly on the west of Peoplestown, and the all-black sections mostly on the east side. In addition, many black residents lived in detached units at the back of white lots.[1]

One of Atlanta's most fashionable residential streets in the 1890s was Washington Street, running from the state capitol through the Washington-Rawson district to what is now Peoplestown. Newspaper ads in the 1890s promoted "Washington Heights" along Washington south of Ormond, now part of Peoplestown.

In the 1930s, the black areas started to receive utilities. In the 1920s and 1930s, the area became less attractive to affluent whites who could afford automobiles, which allowed them to live in the more desirable northside neighborhoods and still commute to their downtown jobs, though the 1960 census still showed a neighborhood that was about half white and half black.

The construction of the Downtown Connector in the 1960s required the teardown of some houses on the western side of Peoplestown. Additional houses were torn down in the mid-1980s when the Connector was widened, as a result of the defeat of I-485 by intown neighborhoods such as Virginia-Highland and Inman Park.

The neighborhood is represented by the Peoplestown Neighborhood Association, an advocacy group made up of homeowners, renters, business owners, and other stakeholders within the Peoplestown neighborhood. The organization is free for all members of the community and gives feedback on zoning changes and other development throughout the neighborhood to the City Zoning Department.

In the 1990s, major revitalization efforts coalesced into the Peoplestown Revitalization Corporation which has set up a neighborhood watch program and other safety programs.[2] A redevelopment plan for Peoplestown was drawn up in 1996.[3]

The Atlanta Beltline Southeast Trail defines the southern-most border of the Peoplestown neighborhood. As of Fall 2024, construction of the biking and pedestrian trail had begun and is expected to be completed by Summer 2026. MARTA began construction in 2024 on the first-in-the-city Bus Rapid Transit line which will run through Peoplestown from the Atlanta Beltline to Downtown Atlanta providing fast, efficient transit methods to Downtown Atlanta and three MARTA rail stations (GSU, Garnett and Five Points). The line will feature three stops in Peoplestown (Ormond Ave, Haygood Ave, and University Ave). The southern most stop of the line will connect at the Atlanta Beltline.

Architecture

In addition to new development, Peoplestown contains examples of Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, and Craftsman architecture.
