Encyclopedia
Macedonia Park was a settlement in what is now the Buckhead Community of Atlanta, Georgia
which was located on the present site of Frankie Allen Park in the Garden Hills
neighborhood. In the late 1800s Macedonia Park was a black community of about 400 families. In 1921, white developer John Ownes built a subdivision designated for African Americans. The houses were modest, lots were small and narrow and bordered a creek. From 1945-1953, the county acquired owners' properties. Bagley Park was established on the land in the mid-1950s, and was renamed Frankie Allen Park in 1980.
