Founded in 1827 as “Irbyville” after Henry Irby’s general store and tavern, locals began to call the area Buckhead after Irby shot a buck and hung its head on the wall as a trophy. It then became a small bucolic village laced with country estates, masons and rolling fields. And although the neighborhood has changed considerably over the years, drive down any side road and Buckhead’s true history will burst out in grand splendor.
