Peachtree Proliferation

Atlanta has long been known for a proliferation of Peachtrees. Stemming from the importance and prestige of the original Peachtree Street, many other roadways in Georgia’s capital and the surrounding counties include “Peachtree” in their name. In fact, in the 5 core counties, some 68 roadways carry the name.
Peachtree is found right in the heart of Atlanta. But even the main drag, Peachtree, manages to change names a few times. At its southern end, the street begins when Whitehall Street crosses Memorial Drive and becomes “Peachtree Street.” Peachtree travels north through Downtown and Midtown. This stretch passes some of Atlanta’s most famous landmarks, including the Fox Theatre, the Margaret Mitchell House, and many of the city’s tallest buildings.

Near Pershing Point, after about 3.5 miles, the roadway changes to “Peachtree Road.” It keeps that name for 8.5 miles, passing through Brookwood, Buckhead, and on into DeKalb County. Many of Atlanta’s posh estates and condos are found along or just off of this stretch. This part of the street also donated its name to an album made by one of its most famous residents: Elton John.
Just south of Chamblee, the road makes its final metamorphosis into Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Peachtree Industrial runs for another 27 miles before finally exhausting the Peachtree moniker at the Hall County border, after having passed all the way across Gwinnett County.

Below is a listing of the Peachtrees by county. If it is not noted that a street continues into a different county, then any street with the same name in more than one county is a duplicate. The Peachtree Circle in Cobb County is a completely different street than the Peachtree Circle in Atlanta and the Peachtree Circle in Gwinnett County.
