亚特兰大是美国东南部佐治亚州的首府，是连接1837年建成的两个铁道的交叉点，是具备现代化装备的美国东南部交通中心。亚特兰大原来叫Terminus，成为佐治亚州的首府后改名为亚特兰大。亚特兰大曾在1864年南北战争时期毁于战火，但又像起死回生的火凤凰一样重新建立起来了，现在已成为美国南部制铁、造纸、药品、食品等工商业中心地。1996年在亚特兰大举行了盛大的100周年奥运会，改进国际机场和兴建新的电信基础设施,写字楼紧随其后,使其后来成为美国第二大通讯发达城市,并吸引大批技术公司，经济发展突飞猛进。现在在这座新城市里入住着很多在世界屈指可数的可口可乐、CNN、UPS、三角洲航空公司（达美）等企业的本部。
亚特兰大也因著名小说《Gone with the Wind》（《飘》）的作家玛格丽特•米切尔（Mitchell, Margaret）女士的出生地而名扬全球。20世纪上半叶，当玛格丽特•米切尔（Mitchell, Margaret）用一台老式打字机敲出那句名言：“When Atlanta talks,the world listens”(亚特兰大发言，全世界谛听)，亚特兰大这座城市就和《Gone with the Wind》（《飘》）这本书紧紧连在一起了。《Gone with the Wind》主要描写了美国南北战争时期的爱情、离别和主人公克服困难的不屈意志。
在美，国哈茨菲尔德国际机场（Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport）的规模和航班次数都属第一，是一座超大型机场。1941年三角洲航空公司把本部搬到了亚特兰大，此后全部乘客的80%乘坐 三角洲航空，是美国最大的航空中心，大韩航空和三角洲航空作为天合联盟SKYTEAM的主要会员公司担负着美国国内以及世界航空运输任务。
大韩航空经由达拉斯（Dallas）直航到仁川国际机场，更加方便了众多旅客的来往。
亚特兰大的观光名胜是因“石山”出名的巨石山公园（Stone Moun-tain Park），石山是世界上最大的单一的花岗岩构成的。石山的周围有碧绿的湖、秀丽的公园、电缆车、游览船、19世纪的农场、技术革命时代的 蒸汽火车、博物馆、工艺品店、钓鱼池、网球场、36洞高尔夫球场、郊游活动等在旅客中广受欢迎。
每年有数百万计的旅客到此旅游 ，特别是每年5~10月夏季夜晚举行的反射在墙面上的激光图像和音乐、爆竹等激光舞会演绎出梦幻般的场景。巨石山公园（Stone Moun-tain Park）具备一切娱乐设施是一个天然娱乐活动场所。
亚特兰大Buckhead可以和汉城“江南”相媲美，它位于亚特兰大商业区往北走大约20分钟距离的地区，这里很久以前开始一直是亚特兰大商业、娱乐中心地，所以有很多有名的西餐厅、星级酒店、名牌商店、酒吧、迪吧等，在正中间耸立的超大型购物中心和高级百货商店吸引着很多顾客。
在亚特兰大开大约一个半多小时的车（75英里左右）就可以到像安徒生童话世界一样的山间乡村，这里有很多欧洲风格的房子和特产品商店。到9~10月份这里漫山遍野全是红红黄黄的红叶，会让人留连忘返。在这季节正好举行全美最盛大的秋季欢庆会“啤酒节” (Octoberfest)，和德国的Heidelberg欢庆会差不多。 各种游行和来自欧洲和美国各地的乐队为“啤酒节”增添快乐。
在亚特兰大有2家龙头企业CNN和可口可乐(Coca-Cola)，所以不要错过观光CNN中心及工作室、可口可乐博物馆。在CNN建筑物的CNN中心里有实时传播全球新闻的CNN广播局和可以利用35分钟参观TBS电缆广播现场，因TBS电缆广播现场人气非常旺盛，所以需要提前一天预约才有机会参加。
您会在可口可乐博物馆(The World of Coca-Cola)非常详细地了解可口可乐的历史，在那里可以一眼看明白起初生产的瓶子到如今流行的易拉罐的变迁历史、可乐原产地到销售经过等，还可以在大屏幕上看在全球有名的可口可乐广告、随心所欲地品尝全球各种各样的可乐。
将近5万余名的韩国人生活在佐治亚州内的亚特兰大和邻近城市。他们经过了困难的定居生活已在许多领域获得了成功，并且构成了非常优秀的模范移民团体。因亚特兰大的教育、生活环境比美国其他地区都相对优越，所以很多侨民持续迁移到这里。
亚特兰大是美国佐治亚州首府及最大城市，是富尔顿县（Fulton County）的县政府驻地。人口425,000（2003年），而正在快速发展的亚特兰大都市区拥有人口4,708,297，是美国第9大都市区。
作为一个铁路枢纽，亚特兰大的发展始於19世纪早期，在南北战争时被摧毁，但在被选为州府后迅速重建。20世纪，它是美国民权运动的中心，并举办了1996年夏季奥林匹克运动会。
History
The region where Atlanta and its suburbs were built was originally Creek and Cherokee Native American territory. The Creek land in the eastern part of the metro area (including Decatur) was opened to white settlement in 1823. In 1835, leaders of the Cherokee nation ceded their land to the government in exchange for land out west under the Treaty of New Echota, an act that eventually led to the Trail of Tears. In 1836 the Georgia General Assembly voted to build the Western and Atlantic Railroad to provide a trade route to the Midwest, with the area around Atlanta--then called Terminus--serving as the terminal. The terminus was originally planned for Decatur, but its citizens did not want it. Besides Decatur, several other suburbs of Atlanta predate the city by several years, including Marietta and Lawrenceville, GA. Terminus grew as a railroad town; later it was renamed Marthasville after then-Governor Wilson Lumpkin's daughter Martha. Marthasville was renamed Atlanta in 1845 and was incorporated as such in 1847.
A slave auction house on Whitehall St., before Sherman burned AtlantaIn 1864, the city became the target of a major Union invasion (the subject of the 1939 film Gone with the Wind). The area now covered by Atlanta was the scene of several battles, including the Battle of Peachtree Creek, the Battle of Atlanta, and the Battle of Ezra Church. On September 1, 1864, Confederate General John Bell Hood evacuated Atlanta after a four-month siege mounted by Union General William Sherman and ordered all public buildings and possible union assets destroyed. The next day, mayor James Calhoun surrendered the city, and on September 7 Sherman ordered the civilian population to evacuate. His forces occupied the city for several months, and he then ordered Atlanta burned to the ground on November 11 in preparation for his punitive march south. After a plea by Father Thomas O'Reilly of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Sherman did not burn the city's churches or hospitals. The remaining war resources were then destroyed in the aftermath and in Sherman's March to the Sea. The fall of Atlanta was a critical point in the Civil War, giving the North more confidence, and (along with the Battle of Mobile Bay) leading to the re-election of Abraham Lincoln and the eventual surrender of the Confederacy.
After the war, Atlanta was gradually rebuilt and soon became the industrial and commercial center of the South. From 1867 until 1888, US Army soldiers occupied McPherson Barracks (later renamed Fort McPherson) in southwest Atlanta to ensure Reconstruction era reforms. To help the newly freed slaves, the federal government set up a Freedmen's Bureau, which helped establish what is now Clark Atlanta University, one of several historically black colleges in Atlanta. In 1868, Atlanta became the fifth city to serve as the state capital. Henry W. Grady, the editor of the Atlanta Constitution, promoted the city to investors as a city of the "New South," by which he meant a diversification of the economy away from agriculture and a shift from the "Old South" attitudes of slavery and rebellion. As part of the effort to modernize the South, Grady and many others also supported the creation of the Georgia School of Technology (now the Georgia Institute of Technology), which was founded on the city's northern outskirts in 1885.
In 1907, Peachtree Street, the main street of Atlanta, was busy with streetcars and automobiles.As Atlanta grew, ethnic and racial tensions mounted. A race riot in 1906 left at least twelve dead and over seventy injured. In 1913, Leo Frank, a Jewish supervisor at an Atlanta factory, was put on trial for raping and murdering a thirteen-year old white employee. After doubts about Frank's guilt led his death sentence to be commuted in 1915, riots broke out in Atlanta and Frank was lynched.
In the 1930s, the Great Depression hit Atlanta. With the city government nearing bankruptcy, the Coca-Cola Company had to help bail out the city's deficit. The federal government stepped in to help Atlantans by establishing Techwood Homes, the nation's first federal housing project in 1935. With the entry of the United States into World War II, soldiers from around the Southeastern United States went through Atlanta to train and later be discharged at Fort McPherson. War-related manufacturing such as the Bell Aircraft factory in the suburb of Marietta helped boost the city's population and economy. Shortly after the war in 1946, the Communicable Disease Center, later called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was founded in Atlanta from the old Malaria Control in War Areas offices and staff.
In 1951, the city received the All-America City Award, due to its rapid growth and high standard of living in the southern U.S.
In the 1960s, Atlanta was a major organizing center of the civil rights movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King and students from Atlanta's historically black colleges and universities playing major roles in the movement's leadership. On October 19, 1960, a sit-in at the lunch counters of several Atlanta department stores led to the arrest of Dr. King and several students, drawing attention from the national media and from presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. Despite this incident, Atlanta's political and business leaders fostered Atlanta's image as "the city too busy to hate". In 1961, Mayor Ivan Allen Jr became one of the few Southern white mayors to support desegregation of Atlanta's public schools. While the city mostly avoided confrontation, small race riots did occur in 1965 and in 1968.
In 1990, the International Olympic Committee selected Atlanta as the site for the 1996 Summer Olympics, however, many felt that Athens should have had the right to host these games because it was the 100th anniversary of the Olympics and Athens felt it could usher in the second century of Olympics. (A year after the Atlanta Games, Athens would be awarded the 2004 Summer Olympics.). Following the announcement, Atlanta undertook several major construction projects to improve the city's parks, sports facilities, and transportation. Former Mayor Bill Campbell allowed many "tent cities" to be built, creating a carnival atmosphere around the games. Atlanta became the first American capital city to host the Olympics. The games themselves were a wonderful achievement in sports, but were marred by the Centennial Olympic Park bombing, which resulted in the death of two people and injured several others. The bombing was carried out by Eric Robert Rudolph. 回答者：kainss - 试用期 一级 5-9 22:15
