Hapeville, established 1891, is a city inFulton County,Georgia, United States. The population was 6,553 at the 2020 census, an increase of 180 residents from the 2010 census.[4]
Hapeville is named for Dr. Samuel Hape, one of the area's original landowners and its first mayor. Dr. Hape and other members of his family are buried in Atlanta'sOakland Cemetery.[5]
During the 1950s and 1960s, Hapeville was a thriving part of the Tri-City (Hapeville, East Point, College Park) area and its post-World War II population supported four elementary schools (Josephine Wells, North Avenue, College Street, and St. John's Catholic school) and one high school. During the 40 years following, it became regarded as a somewhat depressed industrial area. Since 2005, Hapeville has seen significantgentrification, beginning with the Virginia Park neighborhood and then spreading throughout the city. Hapeville has been discovered by young professionals seeking historic neighborhoods close todowntown Atlanta, and there has been a great deal of new residential construction, including single-family homes, townhomes, and upscale apartments. This new residential development has led to a revived historic downtown. Hapeville has also been discovered by metro Atlanta's arts community, and the beginnings of anartist colony have taken shape with the formation of the Hapeville Arts Alliance. The Hapeville Historic District is listed on theNational Register of Historic Places.
From 1947 until 2006, Hapeville was home to theFordAtlanta Assembly Plant, recently manufacturing theTaurus. There are development plans to open a multi-use development,Aerotropolis Atlanta, on the site, which is adjacent toAtlanta Airport.[6]
Hapeville is also home to the Dwarf House - the firstChick-fil-A restaurant which was totally rebuilt and greatly expanded in 2021, the original location's 4th incarnation.[7] Hapeville is also home to portions of thePorsche North American Headquarters.
