History & Heritage

Sandtown

From its beginnings as a Native American colony to its evolution into a thriving African American community, Sandtown is a live example of the many historical facets that have shaped it. It represents the larger themes of the Black experience in the South, which are resilience, displacement, and the desire for self-determination.

Sandtown’s historical significance essentially stems from its representation of South Fulton’s varied and frequently turbulent past, which is characterized by change, adaptation, and the community’s unwavering spirit.

Owl Rock Methodist Church

Owl Rock Methodist Church, established in 1828, is one of Georgia’s oldest churches. Its significance is heightened by its role in the spiritual lives of the local Black community, especially after the Civil War. The church served as a sanctuary where newly freed African Americans could gather, practice their faith, and strengthen their sense of belonging in an environment still deeply scarred by racial hostility.

As a cultural landmark today, Owl Rock Methodist Church symbolizes the lasting impact of the Black experience in the South. It stands as a constant reminder of the crucial role such institutions played in shaping the region’s history.

Old National Highway

Old National Highway is a historic route with a strong economic and cultural legacy. It has long been a vital route linking areas south of Atlanta, spanning portions of Fulton and Clayton counties. The highway’s transformation from a rural road to a busy commercial and residential corridor is noteworthy.
