Atlanta was founded as a railroad hub in the 1800s, mostly burned during the Civil War, and rebuilt thereafter. Most historians credit Atlanta’s emergence as a center of International commerce to the decision to build Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, now the world’s busiest; the three Interstates running through the city; and the selection of Atlanta to host the 1996 Olympics. Atlanta is also home to several professional sports teams, over 30 universities and ranks 3rd nationally in the number of Fortune 500 Headquarters.

With Atlanta’s rapid growth over the past few decades, few people truly are native Atlantans, resulting in a vibrant, diverse and welcoming environment for those new to the area. Learn more about Atlanta and metropolitan Atlanta from Wikipedia.
