Lenox is an underground metro station in Atlanta, Georgia, serving the Gold Line of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. Located in the Buckhead district, it provides access to Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, which are located on Peachtree Street across the street from one another, as well as the nearby neighborhoods of Lenox Park and Pine Hills. It also provides connecting bus service to Peachtree Industrial business district, Underground Atlanta, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Woodruff Arts Center, Midtown business district, Piedmont Hospital, and the Atlanta Amtrak station.This is the northernmost Gold Line station in Fulton County. Northeast of the station, the line crosses into DeKalb County.HistoryThe station was built on the site of Johnsontown, a small community of about 30 African American families originally settled in 1912. The properties were acquired in the early 1980s and the houses razed to make way for the station. The station opened in 1984 when the northeast (now Gold) line was extended from Arts Center to Brookhaven/Oglethorpe.
