Welcome to Historic Brookhaven
Historic Brookhaven
Historic Brookhaven surrounds the Capital City Club, the oldest private, members-only club in Atlanta. A desire to be close to the club amenities has placed significant upward pressure on land/home prices in the immediate vicinity. By some estimates, nearly half of the residents of Historic Brookhaven are also members of the club, though membership is neither compulsory, nor guaranteed for residents. More recently, the Capital City Club and its surrounding estate homes were added to the National Register of Historic Places, and became officially known as Historic Brookhaven.
Brookhaven dates its founding all the way back to 1810, when John Evins became the very first permanent European settler. In the 1830s, Harris and Solomon Goodwin took ownership of much of the land that forms this neighborhood. The Goodwin home and cemetery on Peachtree Road, near Dresden Drive are still preserved.
Before long, Atlanta residents began constructing summer cottages in what was considered “out in the country.” One of the city’s first planned communities was built on 150 acres. These homes surrounded a new golf course, which was acquired by the downtown Capital City Country Club in the early 1900s.
