Cabbagetown
Atlanta's Cabbagetown district is a historic neighborhood that traces its roots to the late 19th century. Originally a mill town built to provide housing for Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill workers, Cabbagetown went into a brief decline after the century-old cotton mill closed in 1977. But the 1990s heralded numerous renovations for the area — including the conversion of the Cabbagetown cotton mill into loft apartments — and Cabbagetown in Atlanta's future as a desirable place to live seemed assured.
Today, Cabbagetown is home to shotgun houses, restored bungalows, restaurants, churches and arts shops. The Atlanta neighborhood also has its own neighborhood improvement association. Annual events in Cabbagetown in Atlanta, Georiga, include the Cabbagetown Reunion Festival (June) and the Cabbagetown Chomp & Stomp Chili Cook-off and Festival (November).
The Cabbagetown district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Cabbagetown in Atlanta, Georiga, is located within a six-block area east of downtown Atlanta. Historic Oakland Cemetery is nearby.
