- Notes:
In 2014, surveyors discovered as many as 84 old and unmarked graves just feet from the fifth green at the North Fulton Golf Course in Chastain Park. From 1911 until the 1960s, Fulton County ran two almshouses, or poorhouses, in the park, and it is believed that the people buried under the course lived in those poorhouses.
