Macedonia Park

Macedonia Park, also known as Bagley Park, was a development in what is now the Buckhead Community of Atlanta, Georgia which was located on the present site of Frankie Allen Park in the Garden Hills neighborhood. It was situated in District 17, Land Lot 60. While many African-Americans lived in the area from 1870 to 1920, streets and addresses weren't assigned until the area was developed by John Sheffield Owens, a white developer, in 1921. Despite the area's development, the homes were systemically bought up by Fulton County in the 1940s-50s. The County cited water quality issues and ordered a clean-up of the area, which ultimately led to the razing of the neighborhood.
