Just east of Downtown, Old Fourth Ward was founded in the early 1800s and is the birthplace of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Both historically significant and hip, “O4W” is one of the best places in the city to enjoy culture and art, outdoor sculpture and murals. A hub for creative businesses and recreation, the neighborhood is home to the restaurants and shopping of Ponce City Market, Krog Street Market, and Whole Foods — each within a few minutes’ walk, or by bicycle or car.
