George Washington "Wash" Collier (29 November 1813 – 20 June 1903) was one of the first recognised settlers in the Atlanta area.
Wash Collier was one of 15 children and he purchased the house and land from his father.
[2] He was the first postmaster in the area running mail from the fort at Standing Peachtree on the Chattahoochee River.
He held on to his undeveloped land lot 104 most of his life which left the northern part of Midtown in a rustic state.
In 1899 he gave an extensive interview to the Atlanta Journal which is an important primary source for the early history of the area.
