Buckhead was originally a rural area named after a buck's head displayed at a local tavern in the 1830s. It grew as a streetcar suburb in the early 1900s, attracting wealthy families who built grand estates. Annexation by Atlanta in 1952 spurred commercial development, transforming it into the upscale district it is today.
