Maps, plans and other documents that chronicle the early development of Peachtree City are now available in digital form online.
Released at https://dlg.usg.edu/collection/frrls-pt_newtown by the Digital Library of Georgia, the collection is called “Peachtree City: Plans, Politics and People, ‘New Town’ Beginnings and How the ‘New Town’ Grew.” It consists of 28 items including conceptual drawings, master plans, prospectuses, newsletters and administrative records from the 1950s through 2007.
Peachtree City librarian Rebecca Watts said the materials will provide land planners and other researchers with insight into how the city “was devoted to slow growth in an effort to keep a balance between industry, residential and community amenities.”
