Where is Candler Park?
Candler Park is a historic neighborhood about five minutes east of Downtown Atlanta, in ZIP code 30307, bordered by Little Five Points, Lake Claire, Inman Park, Druid Hills and Edgewood. It began around 1890 as Edgewood, a small railroad suburb along the Georgia Railroad that was incorporated as its own town in 1899 and annexed by Atlanta in 1909. It’s named for Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler, who donated the land for the park in 1922. The Candler Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It sits inside the City of Atlanta, on the DeKalb County side.
