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 />

Atlanta, <strong>the</strong> Georgia Aquarium and <strong>the</strong> World of Coke.<br />
