I think that the USA is a very interesting and beautiful country. There are so many Russian people that want to visit America. There are so many states there with lots of cities and towns. The capital city of the USA is Washington DC. It’s very old and beautiful city. In my opinion the most interesting, beautiful and popular cities in the USA are NY, LA and Atlanta.

In 2007 Olympic Games took place in America, in Atlanta state Georgia. Those Olympic Games impressed their greatly that’s why people decide to learn more about this beautiful city. After surfing the Net it was understood that Atlanta is a very wonderful city with an interesting history and beautiful sightseeings. That’s why I decide to write about this city. And the main question of my report is: “Why the history of Atlanta so interesting to us?”

To answer this question I wrote a plan consisting of three additional questions.

1.      How did Atlanta begin?

2.      How has the industry of Atlanta started to develop?

3.      How has Atlanta changed since it’s foundation?

This work will be useful for different people. Either will for teachers, or for pupils, to learn more about this wonderful city. It is interesting to learn about the history of this city in details. One may say that Atlanta’s history is the history of America. Atlanta was described in Margaret Mitchel’s novel:” Gone with the wind “. From the other side it would be interesting not only for our pupils but for American guests they could understand that we know about their culture cities and history.

Prior to the arrival of European Americans in north Georgia, Creek and Cherokee Indians inhabited the area.^[19] A Creek village located where Peachtree Creek flows into the Chattahoochee River, Standing Peachtree or Standing Pitch Tree, was the closest Indian settlement to what is now Atlanta.^[20] As part of the systematic removal of Native Americans from northern Georgia from 1802 to 1825,^[21] the Creek ceded the area that is now Metro Atlanta in 1821.^[22] White settlers arrived in 1822, and nearby Decatur was founded the following year.^[23]
In 1836, the Georgia General Assembly voted to build the Western and Atlantic Railroad in order to provide a link between the port of Savannah and the Midwest.^[24] The initial route was to run from Chattanooga to a terminus east of the Chattahoochee River, which would eventually be linked to the Georgia Railroad from Augusta and the Macon and Western Railroad, which ran from Macon to Savannah. Engineers surveyed various possible routes to recommend the location of the terminus, after which the "zero milepost" stake was driven into the ground at what is now Five Points. A year later, the area around the terminus had developed into a settlement, first known as "Terminus" and then Thrasherville, for John Thrasher, a local merchant who built homes and a general store there.By 1842, the town had six buildings and 30 residents and was renamed "Marthasville".^[26] The Chief Engineer of the Georgia Railroad, J. Edgar Thomson, suggested renaming the area "Atlantica-Pacifica" to highlight the rail connection westwards, shortened to "Atlanta".^[26] The residents approved, and the town was incorporated as Atlanta on December 29, 1847.^[27] By 1854, another railroad connected Atlanta to LaGrange, and the town grew to 9,554 by 1860.^[28][29] From the 1850s through the early 20th century, Atlanta was frequently called the "Gate City", for its role as a commercial gateway to a vast area, owing to its rail connectivity.^[
