Buckhead's southern boundary starts where I-75 and I-85 split and it goes North inside this "V" to the Atlanta CIty Limits on it's northern edge. It also includes the area West of I-75 that is north of Peachtree Creek. Buckhead has a reputation as Atlanta's most prosperous district however its name reveals its backwoods beginnings. Buckhead, founded in 1837 traces its beginnings back to Henry Irby s establishment where legend has it that Irby killed a deer and suspended the "buck head" where his patrons could view it. In the 20th century, Buckhead became known as an upper-class Atlanta community where the wealthy chose to reside in beautiful domains. In 1959 one of these estates became the home of Lenox Square Mall. Today, Buckhead is known for its beautiful homes, fine hotels, exquisite restaurants and as one of the biggest shopping mecca's in the southeast.
