ry Irby built a general store and tavern
at the intersection of Peachtree, Roswell
and West Paces Ferry roads. The area
that developed around it evolved into
modern-day Buckhead.
Today it’s Atlanta’s wealthiest com
munity, home to high-rises, mansions
and retail. It also has some of Atlanta’s
worst traffic congestion, something that
the Buckhead Community Improve
ment District has tried to address with
improvements to Peachtree Road.
Buckhead Heritage’s event raised
money to help the nonprofit put togeth
er a master history plan.
“We at Buckhead Heritage are re
sponsible for telling Buckhead’s sto
ry, through signage, digital apps, tours,
things of that nature,” Buckhead Heri
tage President Wright Mitchell said. “So
your money tonight will go to further
that program.”
Mitchell recently completed a study
of how the community got its name in
anticipation of the event, revealing new
details about the commonly accepted
story. Irby didn’t actually kill the deer
and his business was more of a store
than a tavern.
That may sound like trivial stuff to
the outside observer, but the chroniclers
of the community’s story said the details
matter.
Buckhead Heritage Executive Di
rector Erica Danylchak said the event
helped to raise awareness about the
community’s humble beginnings.
“It’s a wonderful way to make people
realize what a rich history this commu
nity has,” Danylchak said.
It’s an area that’s awash in historic
places, many from the Civil War.
While the birthday party cherished
that history, it was the scene of present-
day Buckhead power brokers mingling.
Council members and Coca-Co
la Co. execs shared space with neigh
borhood representatives and nonprof
it leaders.
