Edgewood (Atlanta)

Edgewood is a mostly-residential and diverse neighborhood in Atlanta, located approximately three miles or five kilometers east of downtown Atlanta. Edgewood was originally its own town, prior to the city's 1909 annexation across the county line from Fulton into DeKalb. While the entire Atlanta-in-DeKalb area is sometimes called "east Atlanta", the neighborhood of East Atlanta is to the south-southwest of Edgewood. Kirkwood is immediately to the east of Edgewood, with Reynoldstown just to the west.
