Brookhaven

 

What began as a plantation in the early 1800s quickly spread to include a school and some churches before it eventually developed into a resemblance of the town it is today. At one time, it was considered part of the greater Atlanta area, but given its consistent growth, it became a separate city in 2012. Brookhaven is a laid-back and family-oriented town. With an assortment of locally-owned restaurants and shops, plenty of natural parks, and a vibrant art scene, you’ll love wandering the city and enjoying all.
