The Timeline includes links to photographs, documents and other history pages. Below are links to the City timeline in periods.

City timeline:
The City of Atlanta, Georgia celebrated its 150th anniversary of incorporation in 1998. This chronological timeline presents dates in the development of the City--highlighting the services, responsibilities, and citizen needs that city government serves.

The Timeline is a chronicle of events and actions in the history of city government and the Atlanta community. It includes milestones of City programs; events that affected the growth and development of the City; people and organizations which have served citizens; and events such as wars, fires, and floods that have affected life in Atlanta.
City of Atlanta Homepage Many of the milestone events in the Timeline were identified by consulting the records and sources available at the City of Atlanta Archives. Written materials and on-line resources on City history have also been provided by staff of City Council offices.

We will continue to add items in the coming weeks and months. We welcome information concerning any omissions and the inevitable errors which may have found their way into the Timeline. Suggestions for changes to the Timeline may be addressed to dchambers@atlantaga.gov.
