Blandtown is a neighborhood of the West Midtown area of Atlanta, Georgia. It is located along either side of Huff Road from Howell Mill Road west to Marietta Blvd.[1] It was one of the first black settlements around Atlanta after the Civil War, named for a Black man who owned property.[2][3] As a community it declined from the 1950s through 1990s, following racially motivated rezoning[4] and a general flight from cities to suburbs. It now forms part of the West Midtown area, a rapidly developing part of Atlanta known for its home furnishings stores, new apartment and condo complexes, restaurants and bars.
