Club History
A social organization to promote the pleasure, kind feeling
and general culture of its members.
That is Atlanta's Capital City Club, as described in the charter granted by Fulton Superior Court on May 21, 1883.
There were sixty-two social and business leaders of the booming little city of Atlanta who organized the club on April 16, 1883 and petitioned for their charter the following day. Today Atlanta is still booming; the Capital City Club, now among the oldest social organizations in the South, still includes the social and business leaders of the city; and the legal description still fits.
Harry C. Stockdell was the club's first president. He was succeeded in 1884 by Robert J. Lowry; and then -- in 1885 -- Livingston Mims began the longest term as president, serving, with a two-year interruption, from 1886 through 1906. Subsequent presidents have all served two years or less.
The first clubhouse was at 43 Walton Street, then at the southeast corner of Walton and Fairlie. In August 1884, the club moved into a new establishment at 114 Peachtree Street -- now the site of the Davidson-Paxon Company. The present downtown club was dedicated on December 16, 1910.
The country club was leased in 1913 and purchased in 1915. At that time the golf course was increased from nine to eighteen holes. The present spacious country club building was erected in 1928.
Traditionally the center of Atlanta's social activity, the Capital City Club has likewise been the most popular gathering place for the city's leading business and professional men. Here visiting notables -- including three presidents of the United States -- from other parts of the nation and the world have been entertained in an atmosphere of southern hospitality. Here the scars of war, fresh in the minds of the club's founders, gave way to the friendship of progress.
From its inception the Capital City Club has sought to bespeak the best of Atlanta and the South
The 600-acre Crabapple Golf Course land was purchased in 1999. The golf course was completed in October of 2001. The clubhouse was completed in the fall of 2002. This will ensure Capital City Club upholds its tradition of being the premier club in Atlanta and the South.
