How many counties are there in Atlanta Georgia?

Answer 1

There are 159 counties in the state of Georgia.

There are three (3) counties within the city limits of Atlanta, Georgia - Fulton and DeKalb counties are the primary Counties that cover the city, however, there is a little known fact that a large part is the city is also in Clayton County---The Airport. That's right, over 80% of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is located in City of Atlanta--Clayton County.

However, there are approximately 28 counties in the Metro Atlanta area (the number keeps growing as people move farther out and commute in for work).
