The East Lake Land Company was formed in the late 1800s and land was purchased with the vision to create environment where both the average Atlantan and the wealthiest Atlantan could buy and build a cottage. The company found suitable land approximately 6 miles east of Downtown Atlanta. The land of rolling hills and a valley with two creeks and five-spring watershed had the potential of becoming a dammed lake. In 1891 the marsh was cleared and a dam built to retain the water. East Lake eventually evolved to a mixed income housing development including a nine hole public golf course as well as a private golf club.
