Fourth Ward (Atlanta)

Fourth Ward (Atlanta)

Atlanta's Fourth Ward encompassed mainly what is now called the Old Fourth Ward.

1874

A new city charter increased the radius of the city from one to one and a half miles, reduced the number of wards back to five and created a bi-cameral council of two councilmen from each ward and a second body of three at-large aldermen was established.

The new Fourth ward layout was from Pryor and tracks east on Georgia RR to city limits then north west to West Peachtree and south to origin. Two councilmen would be elected from each ward each year.
