sandy springs

Sandy Springs (once known as Hammond) is a newly-incorporated city (as of December 2005) in Fulton County, north of Atlanta and south of Roswell. It is named for the sandy spring which still exists in the city today, protected by a park.  This area sits just inside and outside of I-285 and to the west of GA400.  Chastain is a popular area with its large stately homes, horse park, ball fields, and outdoor amphitheatre.
