Synopsis

Buckhead is a magical neighbourhood in north Atlanta that has come to be internationally known for its tree-canopied neighbourhoods and among the most sought-after real estate in the country. Known to 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 land to the federal government in 1821, settlers established the community known as Buck's Head by 1838. The ensuing one hundred and fifty years has seen the direct impact of several wars, the Depression, riots and murders, racial strife, the establishment of black neighbourhoods, and its place today as an international business centre and playground for southern society.
