Terminus - Atlanta - was created in 2009.
Atlanta was named by J. Edgar Thomson, Chief Engineer of the Georgia Railroad. Mr. Thomson gave varying stories about how he came up with the name, but our personal favorite is that the city was named for former Governor Wilson Lumpkin's daughter's. Her middle name was Atalanta, after the fleet-footed goddess.
J. Edgar Thomson, a railroad official suggested the area be named "Atlantica-Pacifica" after the railroad. It was shortened and the town of Atlanta was incorporated on December 29, 1847. Another version states Mr. Thompson named the town Atlanta after Governor Lumpkin's' daughter, Atlanta.
