Atlanta dramatically expresses the transition from the "Old South" to the New. In the city, tree lined Georgian-style avenues lie alongside some of the country's most dazzling contemporary buildings. Atlanta was founded in 1837 as the southern terminus of the great Western Atlantic Railroad and given the name Atlanta in 1845. During the Civil War Atlanta was burnt to the ground by Union Troops in an effort to disrupt communication and transportation between the Confederate States. Since Atlanta's reconstruction, the city has played a vital role as a transport hub between the north and south and is now an important national and international crossroad. The city has nevertheless shed much of its traditional deep south identity to become a booming manufacturing center; corporate giants, such as Coca-Cola and AT&T, have made the city their home. In 1996, Atlanta played host to the centennial Olympic Games amid a blaze of publicity showcasing the city and its achievements. The $2 billion Atlanta spent on this international sporting extravaganza has left the city with impressive hotel accommodations, leisure, sporting venues, conference centers and transport facilities. Hartsfield International Airport, home to Delta, is just 20 minutes south. |
