History
Atlanta is the fifth city to serve as state capital, after colonial Savannah, which later alternated with Augusta; then for a decade at Louisville, and from 1806 through the Civil War at Milledgeville. The state legislature also met at other temporary sites, including Macon.
The region where Atlanta and its suburbs were built was originally Creek and Cherokee ("indian") territory. After they were deported to Oklahoma along the Trail of Tears by the Federal government, white settlement in this area increased rapidly.
Atlanta was first planned in 1836 as a terminus on the Western & Atlantic Railroad, hence the original name, Terminus. The railroad terminus for lines connecting from Birmingham, Chattanooga, Macon, Athens, etc. was originally intended to be in Decatur, but the citizens of Decatur did not want a railroad terminal. So an arbitrary spot was picked, around which the village of Terminus grew up in expectation of railroad traffic. The name "Atlanta" dates officially from 1847, by which time several of the railroad lines were already in operation.
In 1864, the city became the target of a major Union invasion in the American Civil War and scene of the Battle of Atlanta, later immortalized in the novel and film Gone With the Wind. On September 1, 1864, Confederate General John Bell Hood evacuated Atlanta after a four month siege mounted by Union General William T. Sherman, and ordered all public buildings and possible union assests destroyed. Forces under General Sherman entered Atlanta the next day and Sherman ordered the civilian population to evacuate on September 7. General Sherman ordered Atlanta burned to the ground on November 11 in preparation for his punitive march south. The remainder of war resources were then destroyed in the aftermath and in Sherman's March To the Sea. The fall of Atlanta is seen as the most critical point in the Civil War, giving the North more confidence, leading to the re-election of Abraham Lincoln and the eventual surrender of the South.
Despite these romantic associations, Atlanta has always been a commercial city, and not an ante-bellum monument. It is the major center of regional commerce, and boasts an especially strong convention and trade show business. Several major national and international companies are headquartered in Atlanta or its nearby suburbs, including United Parcel Service in Sandy Springs and home-grown Home Depot. Newell Rubbermaid has also recently announced plans to move to the area as well. Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus is also donating more than 200 million dollars to build the new Georgia Aquarium between Underground Atlanta and Centennial Olympic Park. Atlanta also has its own Flatiron Building, built before (1897) the more well-known one in New York City (1902).
On the north side of the city near Midtown, the former Atlantic Steel plant is being redevloped as Atlantic Station, a mixed-use project combining housing, retail, and office space, and promoted as one solution to Atlanta's ever more serious traffic and summer smog problems. The metro area has one of the world's longest daily commutes, and is one of the most car-dependent cities on the planet, both due to suburban sprawl, and lack of large nearby lakes or mountains to compress growth. It also has a notorious reputation as being one of the most dangerous for pedestrians, as far back as 1949, when Gone With the Wind author Margaret Mitchell was struck by a speeding car and killed while crossing Peachtree at the corner of Thirteenth, near her home The Dump (now a museum open to the public) [1].
The city is a major cable television programming source; the CNN Center headquarters of the Cable News Network is in Atlanta, where it was founded, and The Weather Channel broadcasts from just outside of town. In addition to CNN, Ted Turner's (and now Time Warner's) other networks from Atlanta include Cartoon Network and companion channel Boomerang, TNT, Turner South, CNN International, CNN Headline News, CNNfn, CNN Airport Network, and TBS. Atlanta's WTBS-TV channel 17 was Turner's start in television in the 1970s, after he bought the struggling UHF TV station, turning it into a profitable venture which still broadcasts "Superstation" TBS locally and nationally.
One of its most important features however is the fact that it was one of the major centers of the American civil rights movement in the 1960's. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was born in the city, and his boyhood home on Auburn Avenue in the Sweet Auburn district is preserved by the National Park Service as a National Historic Site. Meetings with other civil rights leaders, including Hosea Williams and current Congressman John Lewis, often happened at Paschal's, a diner and motor inn which was a favorite for "colored" people, banned from "white" restaurants in an era of racial segregation and intolerance. King's final resting place is in the tomb at the center of the reflecting pool at The King Center.
Geography and Climate
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 343.0 km² (132.4 mi²). 341.2 km² (131.8 mi²) of it is land and 1.8 km² (0.7 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 0.51% water.At more than 1000 feet or 300 meters above mean sea level, Atlanta is second in elevation to mile-high Denver among major American cities, sitting atop a ridge south of the Chattahoochee River. Though now somewhat offset by the urban heat island effect, this still results in a climate slightly more moderate than many other cities in the Southern US, despite its common nickname as "Hotlanta". Its central avenue, Peachtree Street, runs through the center of the city on the Eastern Continental Divide, so that rainwater on the east side runs eventually into the Atlantic Ocean while rainwater on the west side of the street runs into the Gulf of Mexico.
The latter is via the Chattahoochee River, part of the ACF River Basin, and from which Atlanta and many of its neighbors draw most of their municipal water supplies. Being at the far northwestern edge of the city limits, much of the river's natural habitat is still preserved, in part by the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Downstream however, the area's excessive water use and pollution during droughts has been a source of contention and legal wrangling.
Average annual rainfall is about 54 inches or 137cm, typically with late winter and spring being the wettest and fall being the driest. Average annual snowfall is about 1.5 inches or 3.8cm, falling mostly in January and early February. Snow (or ice) occasionally occurs as early as December or as late as mid-March; since 1878 snow or flurries has fallen only three times in October and four in April. Winters are mild, with January daily lows (minimums) near freezing and highs (maximums) near 50°F or 10°C. Summers are somewhat hot and humid, with July mornings near 70°F or 11°C and afternoons near 88°F or 31°C, slight breezes, and typically a 20~30% chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Spring weather is typically very pleasant but quite variable, as cold fronts often bring strong or severe thunderstorms to almost all of the eastern and central U.S. The rain helps wash out Atlanta's abundant oak and pine tree pollens however, and fuels beautiful blooms from native dogwood trees, as well as vibrant azaleas, forsythias, magnolias, and of course peach trees, both flowering-only and fruiting. This city-wide display runs during all of March and April, and inspires the Dogwood Festival, one of Atlanta's largest. Fall is also quite pleasant, with less rain and fewer storms, lower humidity, and beautiful leaves changing colors from late October to mid-November, especially during drier years.
The heart of the city's nature and its festivals is Piedmont Park, which is to Atlanta what Central Park is to New York City. In 1887, a group of prominent Atlantans purchased 189 acres of farmland to build a horse racing track, later developed into the site of the Cotton States International Exposition of 1895. In 1904, the city council purchased the land for $99,000, and today it is the largest park in metro Atlanta, with more than 2.5 million visitors each year. The grounds were part of the Battle at Peachtree Creek – a Confederate division occupied the northern edge on July 20, 1864 as part of the outer defense line against Sherman's approach. Other notable events were the first intercollegiate football game in the South, Auburn vs. Georgia in 1892, and the international debut of motion pictures in 1895. The Atlanta Botanical Garden is currently located next to the park, and Zoo Atlanta is located in Grant Park.

Skyscrapers
In recent years, Atlanta has become a haven for tall buildings. Here is a list of the ten tallest:
The Marriott Marquis Hotel [1] is also notable for its bulging base, and is therefore often jokingly known as the "pregnant building" for its odd shape. More about Atlanta's buildings can be found at http://www.skyscrapers.com/re/en/wm/ci/101302/. A 614 meter skyscraper dubbed the "Atlanta Tower" had been proposed. The idea was rejected, though, because it would have dwarfed the surrounding skyline. It was to contain 130 stories of office space. The idea never got far enough for the design to be released to the public. Two good design ideas can be found at [http://www.skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?b8486 this page.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and is one of two airports considered the busiest airport in the world. Its IATA airport code is ATL, its ICAO airport code is KATL.
History
Hartsfield-Jackson had it's beginnings with a five-year, rent free lease on 287 acres that was the home of an abandoned auto racetrack which was signed on April 16, 1925 by Mayor Walter Sims, who committed the city to develop it into an airfield. As part of the agreement, the property was renamed Candler Field after its former owner, Coca-Cola tycoon and former Atlanta mayor Asa Candler. The first flight into Candler Field was September 15, 1926, a Florida Airways mail plane flying from Jacksonville. In May 1928, Pitcaim Aviation began service to Atlanta, followed in June 1930 by Delta Air Service. Later these two airlines, known as Eastern Airlines and Delta Air Lines, respectively, would both use Atlanta as their chief hubs.Candler Field's first control tower was opened March 1939 and in October 1940 the U.S. government declared it an air base. During World War II, the airport would double in size and set a record of 1,700 takeoff and landings in a single day, making it the nation's busiest airport in terms of flight operation.
In 1946 Candler Field was renamed Atlanta Municipal Airport. In 1948, more than one million passengers passed through a war surplus hangar that served as a terminal building. On June 1, 1956 an Eastern Airlines flight to Montreal, Canada was first international flight out of Atlanta. In 1957, work on new terminal was begun to help alleviate congestion. Atlanta was the busiest airport in the country with more than two million passengers passing through that year and between noon and 2 p.m. each day, it became the busiest airport in the world.
On May 3, 1961, The new $21 million opened terminal opened, the largest in the country, being able to accommodate over six million travelers a year. The new airport was stretched past its capacity very first year when nine and half million people passed though. In 1967, The City of Atlanta and the airlines began to work on a Master Plan for future development of Atlanta Municipal Airport.
Construction was begun on the world's largest air complex in January 1977 under the administration of mayor Maynard Jackson. It was the largest construction project in the South, costing $500 million. Named for a former Atlanta mayor who did much to promote air travel, the William Berry Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport opened on September 21, 1980, on-time and under budget. It was designed to accommodate up to 55 million passenger a year and covered 2.5 million square feet. In December 1984 a 9,000-foot fourth parallel runway was completed and another runaway and extended to 11,889 feet the next year.
On May 11, 1996, ValuJet Flight 592, which had taken off for Hartsfield from Miami International Airport in Miami, Florida, experienced a fire and crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing all on board.
In 2003 on October 20th, Atlanta's city council voted to change the name from Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, to honor the former mayor who died earlier in the year.

Hartsfield-Jackson International is the chief hub to Delta Air Lines and mostly handles air traffic to other parts of the United States and Canada. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport has international service to Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It has two terminals where persons check in, the North Terminal and the South Terminal. They link to a main terminal for security screening, before passengers head to Concourse T, or to the underground train.Six concourses exist for passenger boarding. Moving sidewalks and an underground "people mover" train made by Westinghouse connect the concourses, and the terminals building. Concourse T is attached to the terminal, and was formerly for international flights, before Concourse E was built prior to the 1996 Centennial Summer Olympics.
In July 2003, Mayor Shirley Franklin announced a second international concourse, which will also have its own terminal. The new Concourse F isscheduled to be completed in 2006. A new fifth runway and a consolidated rental car structure is also under construction.
Hartsfield-Jackson also has its own train station on the city's rapid transit system, MARTA. The above ground station is inside in the main terminal building.
