Historic Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia, a city with a vibrant tapestry of history, has evolved significantly since its founding in 1837 as the final stop on the Western and Atlantic railroad. Originally named Marthasville after the governor's daughter, it earned the nickname "Terminus" due to its railroad connections. Eventually, it was renamed Atlanta, a nod to the Atlantic influence of the railways.
From its modest beginnings, Atlanta has grown rapidly. Today, it stands as one of the largest transportation hubs in the U.S. and worldwide. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is among the busiest, connecting passengers to Europe, Asia, and South America. This accessibility has attracted over 1,000 international businesses, with more than 50 countries represented through trade offices and consulates. Such developments have transformed Atlanta into a vital banking center and the global headquarters for numerous Fortune 500 companies.
For over 40 years, Atlanta has been a pivotal city in the civil rights movement. Visionary leaders from the movement played crucial roles in shaping the New South, with Atlanta at its heart. Their unwavering dedication to freedom and peace paved the way for the city's rise as a modern, cosmopolitan center.
Despite its growth and evolution, many still see Atlanta as a symbol of the Old Confederacy. This unique blend of history and progress embodies the essence of the "New South," a locale that marries modern dynamism with rich heritage.
In recent decades, Atlanta has experienced unprecedented expansion. The population, once steady at around 420,000 in the 1980s, has now surged by nearly 40 percent, adding approximately 1.2 million residents to the metro area. The city's changing skyline, marked by new skyscrapers in downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead, reflects this population boom.
Since the late 1970s, iconic architects like Marcel Breuer, I.M. Pei, and Philip Johnson have transformed Atlanta's architectural landscape. Known as the "Capital City of the Southeast," Atlanta merges futuristic vision with historical roots.
While Atlanta's growth and modernity are undeniable, it retains a connection to its past. During the tumultuous 1960s, it was known as the "City Too Busy to Hate." Today, it embraces the title "City Not Too Busy to Care," reflecting a community where heritage enhances contemporary life. This blend of old and new truly defines the soul of historic Atlanta.
