Five Points, Atlanta

Five Points is a district of Atlanta, Georgia, United States, the primary reference for the downtown area.

[1] Woodruff Park is on the northeast corner of the intersection, between Peachtree Street and Edgewood Avenue.

In 1875, Atlanta's drinking water system began with the construction of three artesian wells at Five Points.

With the advent of urban sprawl and the development of shopping malls, the economic and demographic center of Atlanta shifted northward, and Five Points went into decay.

By the 21st century, the area was revitalizing, mostly due to the expansion of Georgia State University, which maintains a large footprint in Five Points.
