Atlanta, Georgia, is the bustling capital and largest city of the state. It serves as the seat of Fulton County, the most populous county in Georgia, while also extending into DeKalb County. The city’s population within its limits is approximately 498,715, making it the eighth most populous city in the Southeast and the 38th most populous in the United States according to the 2020 U.S. census. Atlanta is the central hub of the expansive Atlanta metropolitan area, home to over 6.1 million people, ranking it as the eighth-largest metropolitan area in the United States.

Nestled amidst the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Atlanta boasts a unique topography characterized by rolling hills, abundant greenery, and the densest urban tree coverage among major U.S. cities.

Originally established as the terminus of a prominent state-funded railroad, Atlanta quickly evolved into a convergence point for multiple rail lines, propelling its rapid development. Notably, the Western and Atlantic Railroad, from which the city derived its name, played a crucial role in establishing Atlanta as a vital transportation hub. During the American Civil War, Atlanta held strategic significance for the Confederacy until its capture in 1864. The city endured near-total destruction during General William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea. However, Atlanta experienced a remarkable resurgence in the post-war era, transforming into a national industrial center and the unofficial capital of the “New South.” Following World War II, it also emerged as a prominent center for manufacturing and technology.

Atlanta played a pivotal role in the American Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s. Renowned figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph David Abernathy, among others, emerged as prominent leaders in the movement, with Atlanta serving as a major organizing center.

Present-day Atlanta continues to uphold its reputation as a significant transportation hub, exemplified by Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which claimed the title of the world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic in 1998. With a GDP of $406 billion, Atlanta possesses the tenth largest city economy in the United States and the twentieth largest globally. The city’s economy thrives on diverse sectors such as transportation, aerospace, logistics, healthcare, media operations, film and television production, information technology, finance, biomedical research, and public policy. The revitalization of certain neighborhoods, initially spurred by the 1996 Summer Olympics, has contributed to gentrification, influencing the city’s demographics, politics, aesthetics, and culture.

Atlanta experiences a humid subtropical climate, featuring four distinct seasons and consistent precipitation throughout the year. The city is classified under the Köppen climate classification as part of the Upland South region. Atlanta sits in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, transitioning to 7b in the northern and western suburbs and parts of Midtown. Summers are hot and humid, with temperatures moderated by the city’s elevation. Winters are generally mild, occasionally accompanied by snowstorms, although in smaller amounts compared to other parts of the state. Spring-like highs can be experienced due to warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, while Arctic air masses may cause lows in the teens °F (−7 to −12 °C).

In July, the average temperature is 80.9 °F (27.2 °C), with around 47 days annually reaching 90 °F (32 °C), although temperatures of 100 °F (38 °C) are uncommon. January records an average temperature of 44.8 °F (7.1 °C), with slightly cooler temperatures in the suburbs due to the urban heat island effect. Freezing temperatures can be expected on approximately 36 nights each year. The last instances of temperatures below 10 °F (−12 °C) occurred on December 24th, 2022, and January 2014, eight years apart. Extremes range from −9 °F (−23 °C) in February 1899 to 106 °F (41 °C) in June 2012. Average dewpoints during summer vary from 63.7 °F (17.6 °C) in June to 67.8 °F (19.9 °C) in July.

Precipitation in Atlanta is ample and evenly distributed throughout the year, with late spring and early fall being slightly drier. The city receives an average annual precipitation of 50.43 inches (1,281 mm), while snowfall is typically light and infrequent, averaging 2.2 inches (5.6 cm) per winter. The most significant snowfall occurred on January 23, 1940, with approximately 10 inches (25 cm) of snow. Ice storms pose more significant challenges than snowfall, with the most severe occurring on January 7, 1973. While tornadoes are rare within the city, a notable EF2 tornado on March 14, 2008, caused damage to prominent structures in downtown Atlanta.

The Atlanta metropolitan area boasts a GDP of $385 billion, ranking it as the eleventh-largest economy in the United States and the twenty-second largest in the world. Corporate operations play a vital role in Atlanta’s economy, as the city claims the nation’s third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies, tied with Chicago. Numerous corporations have established their global headquarters in Atlanta, including The Coca-Cola Company, The Home Depot, Delta Air Lines, Arby’s, AT&T Mobility, Georgia-Pacific, Chick-fil-A, Church’s Chicken, Dunkin Donuts, Norfolk Southern Railway, Mercedes-Benz USA, NAPA Auto Parts, Papa Johns, Porsche AG, Newell Brands, Marble Slab Creamery, and UPS. Over 75% of Fortune 1000 companies have business operations in the Atlanta metro area, and the region accommodates offices for over 1,250 multinational corporations. Atlanta’s educated workforce attracts corporations, with 45% of adults aged 25 or older residing in the city holding at least a four-year college degree, surpassing the national average of 28%.

Logistics remains a significant component of Atlanta’s economy, tracing back to its roots as a railroad town. The city serves as a vital rail junction and hosts major classification yards for Norfolk Southern and CSX. Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, constructed in the 1950s, has been a key driver of the city’s economic growth. Delta Air Lines, the largest employer in Atlanta and the third-largest in the metro area, operates the world’s largest airline hub at Hartsfield-Jackson, contributing to the airport’s status as the world’s busiest in terms of passenger traffic and aircraft operations. The airport’s presence has also made Atlanta a prominent hub for diplomatic missions, housing 26 consulates general, making it the seventh-highest concentration of diplomatic missions in the United States.

Atlanta’s economy thrives in the broadcasting sector as well. Media mogul Ted Turner founded various media entities, including the Cable News Network (CNN), Turner Network Television (TNT), HLN (HLN), Turner Classic Movies (TMC), Cartoon Network (CN), TruTV (truTV), and the Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) in the city during the 1980s. Cox Enterprises, the nation’s third-largest cable television service and publisher of numerous American newspapers, relocated its headquarters to Atlanta around the same time. Noteworthy sports networks headquartered in Atlanta include Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, NBA TV, Bally Sports South, and Bally Sports Southeast.
