About City

Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business". It's also a great place to visit. Atlanta was established in 1837 at the intersection of two railroad lines, and the city rose from the ashes of the Civil war to become a national center of commerce. Fuelled by the prosperity of local mega-companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves -- Atlanta is on fire, and this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a wealth of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Visit the Atlanta History Center or the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban activities or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint. In Atlanta, finedining, shopping and rich history combine with inspiration-inducing attractions to create a city with Southern charm and world-class sophistication. It’s easy to see why Atlanta, Georgia is one of the most popular destinations in the Southeast to live and to visit
