This land has always been an important place for Atlantans. In the mid 1800s the Atlanta Street Railway brought visitors Ponce de Leon Springs to enjoy nature and rest. In 1903 Ponce de Leon Amusement Park was built and drew crowds from around the region. Adjacent land was drained to create Ponce de Leon Baseball Park in 1907. Sears and Roebuck built its Store and Distribution Docks here in 1925, next to the Railroad Tracks. In 1991 the City of Atlanta bought the property for Government Offices.
Atlanta is always re-imagining itself and The City Offices "morphed into" Ponce de Leon Market. Tenants arrived and this Commercial Hub is "humming..."
