History of Upper Georgia Avenue
Officially named in 1908, The Upper Georgia Avenue Main Street has evolved from a historic transportation route into a vibrant neighborhood commercial corridor. Over time, it has developed alongside hundreds of small businesses and surrounding residential communities, serving as a key spine linking neighborhoods such as Brightwood, Shepherd Park, and the now the Parks at Walter Reed.
