Atlanta ranks high in quality of life<br />
A T L A N T A your new hometown<br />
WELCOME HOME!<br />
…to a city where every o<strong>the</strong>r street seems to have “Peachtree” in its name, where its citizens are as determined and resilient as<br />
Scarlet O’Hara, where a soft drink has become “<strong>the</strong> Real Thing” <strong>the</strong> world over, where <strong>the</strong> courageous leader of America’s civil rights<br />
movement called home and where <strong>the</strong> status of an international city is firmly established by hosting <strong>the</strong> Olympics.<br />
The area of Atlanta was originally populated by a Native American moundbuilding<br />
society. Many of Atlanta's corridors follow <strong>the</strong> paths created by <strong>the</strong><br />
Creek and Cherokee Indian nations, who inhabited <strong>the</strong> area until <strong>the</strong> early<br />
19th Century. A large Creek settlement was called Standing Pitch Tree after<br />
a tall lone tree. Over time, <strong>the</strong> "pitch tree" became "peach tree." No matter<br />
where you go in Atlanta, you always seem to be driving on Peachtree.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> time of <strong>the</strong> American Revolution, <strong>the</strong> Creek, thought to be<br />
descendants of <strong>the</strong> early inhabitants, had established Standing Peachtree<br />
Village near <strong>the</strong> site of an ancient mound by <strong>the</strong> confluence of <strong>the</strong><br />
Chattahoochee River and Peachtree Creek. The village was a hub for<br />
several major trails and functioned as an important trading center. A large<br />
section of one of <strong>the</strong> main trails, which ran from <strong>the</strong> village to present-day<br />
Suwannee, was upgraded by local European settlers near Fort Daniel built,<br />
during <strong>the</strong> War of 1812, in what is now Gwinnett County. This led to <strong>the</strong><br />
building in 1813 of Fort Peachtree on a rise overlooking <strong>the</strong> Chattahoochee<br />
River. The former trail that now connected <strong>the</strong> two forts became known as<br />
<strong>the</strong> original Peachtree Road.<br />
In 1821 <strong>the</strong> Creek ceded <strong>the</strong> lands surrounding <strong>the</strong> Atlanta area to <strong>the</strong><br />
State of Georgia. The first European settler in what is now Atlanta was<br />
Hardy Ivy, who in 1833 built a cabin near present day Courtland Street<br />
and International Boulevard. In 1836, in an effort to compete for trade, <strong>the</strong><br />
Georgia legislature approved <strong>the</strong> construction of a railroad to connect <strong>the</strong><br />
area near Chattanooga, Tennessee to “"...a point on <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>astern bank<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Chattahoochee River." Army engineer Colonel Stephen Harriman<br />
Long was chosen to determine <strong>the</strong> most practical route for <strong>the</strong> new<br />
Western and Atlantic Railroad line. After exploring half a dozen options<br />
he chose a site nine miles south of <strong>the</strong> river. In 1837, a stake was driven<br />
into <strong>the</strong> red clay on Hardy Ivy’s property and <strong>the</strong> town that was to become<br />
<strong>the</strong> city of Atlanta became <strong>the</strong> “end of <strong>the</strong> line.” Aptly named Terminus by<br />
<strong>the</strong> railroad’s chief engineer, <strong>the</strong> town boomed. As <strong>the</strong> town continued to<br />
grow and prosper, <strong>the</strong> name Atlanta was chosen to represent <strong>the</strong> thriving,<br />
progressive community that today nearly 5,500,000 residents call home.<br />
Today, <strong>the</strong> Atlanta metropolitan area consistently ranks high<br />
in overall quality of life when compared to o<strong>the</strong>r cities in <strong>the</strong> country<br />
for numerous reasons. It is home to notable businesses such as Cingular<br />
Wireless, CNN, Cox Communications, EarthLink, Equifax Georgia-<br />
Pacific, Horne Depot, <strong>the</strong> Wea<strong>the</strong>r Channel and UPS, and continues to<br />
function as a major economic hub.<br />
With a passenger terminal complex equivalent to more than 45<br />
football fields, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is <strong>the</strong><br />
world’s busiest passenger airport. Atlanta is an ideal location for carriers<br />
like hometown Delta Air Lines, as <strong>the</strong> city is only a 2-hour flight away<br />
from 83 percent of U.S. cities. Every day, nearly 250,000 passengers travel<br />
through Hartsfield-Jackson making it <strong>the</strong> world’s busiest passenger airport.<br />
Atlanta offers its residents distinct seasons and a temperate climate.<br />
The flowering of <strong>the</strong> dogwood trees in <strong>the</strong> spring brings a festive air to
The Georgia Aquarium<br />
hockey’s Atlanta Thrashers. Three state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art facilities, Philips Arena,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Georgia Dome, and Turner Field host <strong>the</strong>se events and have also been<br />
home to <strong>the</strong> World Series, Major League Baseball’s All Star Game, two<br />
Super Bowls, NCAA Regional and Final Four basketball tournaments, <strong>the</strong><br />
Peach Bowl and <strong>the</strong> SEC Championship Game.<br />
Education is well served in <strong>the</strong> Atlanta area with 26 public school systems<br />
and over 150 private schools. Atlanta consistently ranks high in <strong>the</strong> total<br />
number of post¬secondary degrees conferred annually. Students from<br />
around <strong>the</strong> world come to Atlanta to attend renowned institutions such as<br />
Emory University, <strong>the</strong> Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State<br />
University.<br />
Housing choices abound in <strong>the</strong> metro Atlanta area. Because <strong>the</strong> region<br />
covers such a large area <strong>the</strong>re are homes and settings available to match any<br />
lifestyle. For those who enjoy in-town living, choices can run <strong>the</strong> gamut<br />
from quaint bungalows, 19th century Victorian homes and amenity-rich<br />
condo and apartment communities to trendy urban lofts, posh high-rises<br />
and modern, custom-built mansions. Prefer a suburban setting? There are<br />
plentiful options that range from family-oriented neighborhoods to upscale<br />
golf, equestrian and tennis communities featuring luxurious homes.<br />
The rural areas of <strong>the</strong> metro region offer spacious settings for existing or<br />
new homes with a relaxed feel embodying <strong>the</strong> graciousness of <strong>the</strong> South.<br />
Land is available for people who have plans for building a dream house,<br />
while existing homes offer choices sure to satisfy anyone seeking a pastoral<br />
repose.<br />
Opportunities are also available for homeowners with exclusive tastes.<br />
Numerous choices exist in golf and country club communities offering<br />
private memberships and custom homes.<br />
<strong>the</strong> city, one of <strong>the</strong> greenest metro areas in <strong>the</strong> eastern part of <strong>the</strong> nation.<br />
Summers, which can have extended hot and humid spells, are tempered<br />
somewhat by Atlanta’s elevation on <strong>the</strong> edge of north Georgia’s Piedmont<br />
region. When fall moseys into <strong>the</strong> Atlanta region, <strong>the</strong> abundant greenery<br />
creates a decidedly more colorful canopy. Winters can be cold but daytime<br />
temperatures are usually comfortable enough to enjoy being outdoors.<br />
Due to Atlanta’s ideal location, recreational activities abound in Georgia.<br />
Day trips offer opportunities in hiking, water skiing and whitewater rafting.<br />
A four-hour drive from Atlanta can bring you to <strong>the</strong> charm and grace of<br />
Savannah and <strong>the</strong> Georgia Coast, or <strong>the</strong> splendor of <strong>the</strong> North Carolina<br />
Mountains.<br />
With over 8,000 restaurants in <strong>the</strong> metro area that range from simple<br />
and satisfying to elegant and gourmet, one never needs to go far to find<br />
a good meal. With every major U.S. regional cuisine represented as well<br />
as offerings from <strong>the</strong> cuisines of Europe, Latin and South America, Africa<br />
and Asia, those in search of outstanding culinary experiences will have an<br />
endless adventure.<br />
Cultural appetites can also be well sated. The High Museum of Art, The<br />
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, <strong>the</strong> Atlanta Ballet, <strong>the</strong> Alliance Theater, <strong>the</strong><br />
famous Fox Theater and <strong>the</strong> Civic Center plus art galleries, comedy clubs,<br />
live music venues and local festivals are but a few of <strong>the</strong> host of choices<br />
available for a sophisticated night on <strong>the</strong> town or a weekend of fun. For<br />
entertainment <strong>the</strong> whole family would enjoy Atlanta offers Six Flags Over<br />
Georgia, <strong>the</strong> Presidential Center, <strong>the</strong> Fembank Natural History Museum,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Martin Lu<strong>the</strong>r King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Zoo<br />
