The Buckhead Triangle (Atlanta, Georgia)

The Buckhead Triangle forms where Peachtree Road, West Paces Ferry, and the begining of Roswell Road meet. At the corner of Roswell Road and West Paces Ferry was the spot of Henry Irby's general store and tavern. Buckhead was known through most of the 1800s as Irbyville, but it was Irby's strange sense of decor that gave this village it's new name. Irby killed a large deer and mounted the buck's head for all to see. Somehow it stuck, and Irbyville turned in to Buckhead. The name Buckhead stuck, and Irbyville turned into Buckhead. Now a statue of a dear headed humaniod now adorns the park just like Henry Irby's odd decorum of yester year.
