Welcome to Kirkwood

 
Kirkwood is a national historic designated neighborhood on the east side of Atlanta. It is within the city limits of Atlanta, entirely in Dekalb County. It is bordered by the following neighborhoods: Lake Claire to the north, Oakhurset and East Lake to the east, Parkview and East Atlanta to the south, and Edgewood to the west.
 
Prior to the Civil War the most prominent landholders in early Kirkwood were the Kirkpatrick, Dunwoody and Clay families. The name "Kirkwood" was derived from a blending of the Kirkpatrick and Dunwoody family names.
 
Residential Development began in Kirkwood in the 1870s. Kirkwood was incorporated as an independent municipality in the 1890s with its own city council and Mayor. Kirkwood was an early street car suburb of Atlanta. By 1910 street cars provided express service to and from Atlanta, 3 times daily, and continued until the early 1950s.
 
Residential resurgence began to flourish again in the 1990s and commercial resurgence along Kirkwood's main business corridor Hosea L Williams Dr began in the early 2000s. Today Downtown Kirkwood has become what neighbors call "the small town in the big city" hosting its own post office, newly constructed fire station, police precinct and public library.
