On December 29, 1847, the charter for the city of Atlanta was finalized, marking the beginning of a fascinating city that would soon become Georgia's capital and become an instrumental part in Southern history. Join us to learn more about the "Gate City of the South" with Archive Atlanta host, Victoria Lemos.
