About Old Fourth Ward

History

Starting in 1847, Atlanta was divided into political divisions called "wards". These wards represented political divisions where each ward elect their own representatives. The ward system ended in 1954 with the reinstatement of city-wide elections. The location of the "Fourth Ward" was renamed to Old Fourth Ward. Curiously, Old Fourth Ward is the only neighborhood named after the ward system.

Starting in the 1950s, Old Fourth Ward and surrounding neighborhoods began to slip into economic decline starting. Streets like Boulevard were transformed from being lined with beautiful Victorians to rife with decay and criminal activity. A concerted revitalization effort has been ongoing since the 1990s that helped spur real estate development. The neighborhood is now more desirable than ever, with a swarm of new houses, apartments, restaurants, and shops.
