History
In 1960 the original strip of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard extended from North Shallowford Road in Atlanta to the then unbuilt interchange with Interstate 285 in Doraville. In 1969 when Interstate 285 opened, Peachtree Industrial Road was extended northward to Holcomb Bridge Road in Norcross. The road from I-285 to Peachtree Parkway (SR 141) in Norcross was upgraded to a freeway in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
