The Streets of Buckhead is a new redevelopment of an area just south of West Paces Ferry Road and East of Peachtree. The redevelopment will encompass building high end retail mixed with residential and will most certainly bring incredible value to Buckhead.

Buckhead's name was derived from Henry Irby's general store and tavern, which was founded in 1837. It was located at what is now the northwest corner of West Paces Ferry Road and Roswell Road. It was Irby, according to his descendant, who killed a large deer and mounted the "buck head" where travelers could see it. The name Buckhead proved durable, and a campaign in the late 19th century to rename the area Northside Park was unsuccessful.
