What is the history of Forest Park?

Officially incorporated in 1908, the city was established as a stop along the famed Macon and Western Railroad. In 1973 the nearby town of Fort Gillem was annexed into Forest Park, leading the city to boast a total area of almost ten square miles.

How do I get around town?

The MARTA commuter rail system handles much of the public transportation needs for the city, with bus service also available and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport never far away.

Those commuting to Atlanta proper can expect sluggish conditions most days, but again it's only a nine mile or so drive, making Forest Park apartments especially convenient. 

What are the local media outlets?

The 'South Fulton Neighbor' is a popular city-specific print option, and the online outlet the 'Clayton News' covers a wide variety of regional issues and arts listings as well.
