A Bit of History
Before its incorporation in 2017, South Fulton was an unincorporated area within Fulton County, made up of several distinct neighborhoods and communities such as Cascade, Cliftondale, Sandtown, and Red Oak. The region has historical significance, particularly in African American history, with communities dating back to the post-Civil War era. South Fulton has grown significantly over the years, offering a mix of historic homes, new developments, and large estates.
The area’s cultural history is deeply rooted in the Civil Rights Movement, with connections to prominent Atlanta leaders and a legacy of African American community building. This rich heritage, combined with modern developments and natural spaces, makes South Fulton a dynamic and diverse place to live.
