Excerpted from the website:
- Atlanta and Its History
- As stories have revealed, the city of Atlanta was first founded in 1837 as the end of the Western and Atlantic railroad line. It was born with its first name, Marthasville in honor of the then-governor’s daughter. The city was also nicknamed Terminus for its rail location, and then changed soon to Atlanta, which means the ‘feminine’ of Atlantic – as in the railroad.
