In the 1830s, the Georgia Railroad built a rail line through what is present day Clarkston to connect the merchants of Athens with outlets in Augusta and South Carolina. The city is often noted as one of the first suburbs of Georgia, a popular area for early day commuters.
The City of Clarkston is located in DeKalb County and is approximately 10 miles northeast of Atlanta. It's a fairly small area comprised of approximately 700 acres or 1.1 square miles. Today the railroad still runs through Clarkston, connecting modern day residents to the city's humble beginnings. The city has several historic landmarks including the Clarkston Women's Club and Milam Park. The Clarkston Woman's Club was built in 1913 and is the third oldest Woman's Club building in the state of Georgia while Milam Park, which opened in 1927 is recognized as the first public park and playground in Dekalb County and is still open to area youth to enjoy.
