Atlas Statue - Buckhead, Georgia - Atlas Statues on Waymarking.com

Atlas stands on the corner of Roswell Road and Irby Street in Buckhead.

Historical note:
Local lore has recorded that in 1838 a hunter hung a deer’s head at about this location in front of Irby’s Tavern. The Henry Irby family owned 803 surrounding acres and the area was designated Irbyville on maps at that time. People started identifying the area by the buck’s head and the community then changed its name to Buckhead.
