Druid Hills and North Druid Hills are in a rather tony section of Atlanta. When I was a child, my family went to a large church on N. Druid Hills Road back in the 1970's.

It is a funny name tho when you think about it

North Druid Hills Road

It was named in 1908, back when Druids were simply a historical and romantic blip on the radar screen (think Welsh Eisteddfod). Joel Hurt Sr., who married my great great grandfather's oldest sister Sarah, developed the property, had famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted design the development, and sold it to Asa Candler (the original Coca-Cola man). The development was officially named Druid Hills the same year.

It's a major Atlanta street that runs from Peachtree Road all the way over to the Stone Mountain Freeway, more or less eastward across the NE quadrant of the metro area.

It's an acutal road in the northeastern part of Atlanta.
