East Point

East Point has served as a railroad town in Georgia’s Piedmont since the 1870s, when the Atlanta and West Point Railroad helped shape its growth south of Atlanta. Set between central Atlanta and Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, it remains a separate Fulton County city with its own compact downtown. The historic commercial district follows the rail corridor, preserving the logic of the original settlement. Dick Lane Velodrome, a banked outdoor cycling track, gives East Point a particular role in the region’s sporting life. Trace East Point’s place in metropolitan Atlanta by browsing webcams nearby.
