History of Vine City
Located west of Mercedes-Benz Stadium and
Northside Drive, Vine City originated in the 1800s
along the headwaters of Proctor Creek as a
working community around a large plant nursery
business.
Some notable figures, including Julian Bond,
Maynard Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mrs.
Coretta Scott-KIng, living in the historic Black
neighborhood.
Vine City has experienced poverty, blight, and
crime for years as part of an area called "The
Bluff." But the city hopes to revitalize the area to
attract new neighbors and private development
while retaining longtime legacy residents.
