Atlanta, Georgia - Government.
Atlanta is governed by an at-large elected mayor and a city council. The city council consists of representatives of twelve districts from the city as well as three at-large positions. The mayor may veto a bill passed by the council, but the council may override with a two-thirds majority. The current mayor of Atlanta is Shirley Franklin.
Possibly owing to the city's African American majority, each mayor elected since 1973 has been black; the uninterrupted string of black may ...

| | | | Atlanta Georgia - Demographics: Encyclopedia II - Atlanta, Georgia - History The region where Atlanta and its suburbs were built was originally Creek and Cherokee Native American territory. The Creek land in the eastern part of the metro area (including Decatur) was opened to white settlement in 1823. In 1835, leaders of the Cherokee nation ceded their land to the government in exchange for land out west under the Treaty of New Echota, and act that eventually led to the Trail of Tears. In 1836 the Georgia General Assembly voted to build the Western and Atlantic Railroad to provide a trade route to the Midwest, with t ...

| | | | Atlanta Georgia - Demographics: Encyclopedia II - Fulton County Georgia - Politics Residents, in part still reacting to Atlanta annexing 118 square miles in 1952, have commonly identified with being not Atlanta more than being associated with Atlanta. This has caused a desire in unincorporated areas to incorporate to block the future annexation growth of Atlanta. Over time the arguments have become economic in nature. In recent years residents of upscale, higher-income areas of northern Fulton County have become at odds with the less affluent areas of its central and south, over taxes and distribution of services. Many of ...

| | | | Atlanta Georgia - Demographics: Encyclopedia II - Sandy Springs Georgia - Geography The boundaries of Sandy Springs are: Atlanta to the south, Cobb County (at the Chattahoochee River) to the west and north, Roswell (also at the river) to the north, and unincorporated Dunwoody (at the DeKalb County line) to the east. A small panhandle in the northeast extends between the Chattahoochee River to the north and Dunwoody to the south, ending in a very small border with Gwinnett County. (This panhandle was part of DeKalb, later ceded to the former Milton County.)
If Milton County were to be created again (as some have been advocating recently), the city has not yet taken any position on ...
