committing to revitalizing public spaces for community
enjoyment, making each a place where locals can come
together to enjoy the city in which they live.
17. Castleberry Hill was the name generally associated
with a topographic rise that peaked along Walker Street
between Fair and Stonewall Streets on land owned by
Daniel Castleberry, an early settler and grocer. As Atlanta
grew after the Civil War from a newly chartered city to a
regional rail distribution center, so did Castleberry Hill.
The area began as a residential district with Peters Street
functioning as a trade and commercial strip supporting
adjacent residential areas as well as the railroad-related
businesses.
Today, Castleberry Hill is a unique urban community with
a strong historic identity. Many of the early 20th-century
warehouse buildings have been converted to lofts and
are now the predominate housing type. The population
is culturally diverse and the area is continuing to grow in
both the number of residents as well as retail and other
establishments.
