The neighbourhood and its central square (Attiki Square) are named after [[Attica Railways]], a railway company that constructed the line Athens-Kifissia-Lavrion. [[Attiki station]] was the terminus of this line.<ref>{{cite web|title=Η Αττική είχε προαστιακό σιδηρόδρομο πριν από 129 χρόνια, αλλά τον ξήλωσαν!

==History== During antiquity, Attiki was part of [[Kolonos]] and was considered the most aristocratic neighbourhood of Ancient Athens, owing to its proximity to the [[Cephissus (Athenian plain)|Cephissus]] river. Nowadays, this river is hidden under [[A1 motorway (Greece)|Leoforos Kifissou]].
The area was extensively urbanised during the 1960s and 1970s.
