AMERICANA Cities To See
Atlanfa-Gate City of the South
i
AERIAL VIEW—Atlanta, Ga.
Atlanta—capital of the State of Georgia—is one of America’s newer,
and greater cities.
Often called the “Gate City of the South,” Atlanta was originally de» j
veloped as a transportation center. Today it is a city of great contrast,
boasting diversified commercial activity on one hand, beautiful homes,
churches, diversified recreation facilities and gracious living on the
other.
Atlanta's brief history is drama
packed. Founded in 1837, when a
railroad surveyor drove a stake in
to the ground near what is now
known as Five Points (the center
of the financial district), it was the
turn around point of the state’s
first railroad and the small town
that grew there was called Termi
nus. Later the name was changed
te Marthasville. In 1847, it was in
corporated as the city of Atlanta,
and in 1868, it was made the state
capital.
The city had a big part in the Civil
War, much of which was drama
tized in the book, “Gone With the
Wind.” It was a bustling town of
10,000 when the war began, a stra
tegic point desired by both armies.
By 1864, year of the battle and
siege of Atlanta, the city was a fo
cal point of the war. Burned to the
ground by Sherman just before his
march to the sea, the city was rap
idly rebuilt when the war ended.
Today, with a population of over
500,000, Atlanta ranks twenty-sec
ond among the cities of the United
States. The city's 1,690 factories, j
a quarter of them postwar devel-1
opments, produce 3,300 different1
commodities. The city sella more
than $400,000,000 worth of its own ’
manufactured goods each year,f
pours from its warehouses to all j
parts of the Southeast every type
of manufactured goods—from soap
to automobiles.
Things to see in Atlanta include >
the “Cyclorama,” a striking pic- ‘
ture of the Battle of Atlanta, meas
uring 400 feet around, 50 feet high,
and weighing 18,000 pounds. Stone!
Mountain, 16 miles east, is said to \
be the largest body of exposed
granite in the world. Another fa
vored tourist site is the Robert
Burns cottage, a copy of the Scot
tish poet's home.
