Candler Park is a large residential neighborhood developed primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was founded as Edgewood, a small suburban community in DeKalb County halfway between Atlanta and Decatur. In the Civil War, the area of Candler Park (the park) was home to a Union encampment which shows up on some later maps as “Union Square.” In the late 1800s, Edgewood was home to both black and white residents with little segregation, as was common in communities of that time. Substantial African American communities within today’s Candler Park neighborhood included Hooper Street, off Oakdale Road. As early as 1879, the African American Antioch Baptist Church congregation met in a “brush arbor” near Oakdale and Miller Ave, which, by 1883, was officially the site of the “Antioch Baptist Church of Edgewood”. Candler Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 (updated in 2005) as the Candler Park Historic District.
