Spalding Drive

Spalding Drive is a residential road running through northern Atlanta neighborhoods, linking several communities together. It passes schools, post offices, and business parks while traversing hilly terrain with multiple curves.

The route originally followed a Native American trail before becoming a getaway path for Atlanta residents seeking summer homes in northern areas. Over time, different road sections merged into a single unified route.

The road carries the name of a pioneering family whose property holdings shaped how the area developed and grew. Their land ownership influenced where neighborhoods formed and how the region expanded northward.

Expect changing road conditions and elevation changes that require careful driving attention. The route has several access points to public facilities and business areas that get busy during peak hours.

Different sections of the road came together from separate earlier routes that had different names. This consolidation created one continuous corridor that developed through stages over time.
