About Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia, is the state capital and a major economic and cultural hub in the Southeastern United States, often called the “New York of the South” for its business influence and diversity.

Located in Fulton and DeKalb counties, Atlanta was founded in 1837 as the terminus of the Western & Atlantic Railroad and grew rapidly after the Civil War, becoming a symbol of the “New South.”

The city played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, hosting leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., and gained global attention as the host of the 1996 Summer Olympics, which fueled large-scale urban revitalization.

Today, Atlanta is a global city home to Fortune 500 companies like Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola, and CNN, along with a booming film industry known as the “Hollywood of the South.” Its economy thrives on logistics, technology, media, and tourism.
