Wikipedia, August 12, 2015 (Atlanta; City of Atlanta; capital of and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia; county seat of Fulton County, and a small portion of the city extends eastward into DeKalb County; first known as "Terminus" (1837), and later as "Thrasherville". By 1842, the town had six buildings and 30 residents, and was renamed "Marthasville" [no access points in OCLC]; J. Edgar Thomson, Chief Engineer of the Georgia Railroad, suggested the town be renamed "Atlantica-Pacifica," which was shortened to "Atlanta". The residents approved, and the town was incorporated as Atlanta on December 29, 1847; 33°45ʹ18ʺN 84°23ʹ24ʺW)
