The Capitol View Historic District has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Historic District is bounded by Hartford Place (North), Metropolitan Parkway (East), Fairbanks Street (South), and Sylvan Road, Division Place, and the western boundary of Perkerson Park (West). The nomination was sponsored by the Capitol View Neighborhood Association, and materials were prepared by graduate students in Georgia State University’s Heritage Preservation Program. The Capitol View Historic District was initially developed as a streetcar suburb for middle-class white families in the decades following 1900. Growth of the district accelerated when Capitol View was annexed by the city of Atlanta in 1913 and Stewart Avenue became a major automobile thoroughfare and commercial area after being paved as part of the Dixie Highway in the 1920s. A section of war worker housing was developed in Capitol View in the early 1940s, and mostly blue-collar workers continued the population growth. In the early 1970s, a major demographic shift occurred, as African Americans begin purchasing more houses.
Georgia driver’s licenses are now good for eight years, according to a report in the AJC.

Some drivers can’t get the eight-year license, including teenagers, commercial vehicle drivers and those with limited permits.
