Atlanta ( IPA : /￦t￈l￦ntY/ or /Yt￈l￦ntY/ ) is the capital and the most populous city of the state of Georgia , and the central city of the ninth most populous metropolitan area in the United States . It is the county seat of Fulton County , although a portion of the city extends into DeKalb County . As of July 2006 the city of Atlanta has a population of 483,108 and a metropolitan population of 5,138,223. The July 2006 census estimate puts the combined statistical area (CSA) population at 5,478,667. A major city in its own right, Atlanta is considered a poster child for cities worldwide experiencing rapid urban sprawl , economic development, and growth. [1] [2] In the last decade, the Atlanta metropolitan area added over 1,150,000 residents  the fourth-largest gain in absolute numbers of any metropolitan area in the United States. The metro area has been #1 in single-family housing starts for 13 consecutive years. Atlanta is recognized as one of the driving forces of the " New South ," and has in recent years, along with Miami , Dallas , and Houston , undergone a transition from a city of regional commerce to a city of international influence. During the Civil Rights Movement , Atlanta stood apart from Southern cities that supported segregation, touting itself as the "city too busy to hate." The city's progressive civil rights record made it increasingly popular as a relocation destination for African Americans , and the city's population became majority-black by 1972 . African Americans soon became the dominant political force in the city; since 1974 , all of the mayors of Atlanta have been African-American, as well as the majority of the city's fire chiefs, police chiefs, and other high-profile government officials. White flight occurred in the city in the 1970s and 1980s; the city's population dropped by more than 100,000 from 1970 to 1990. That trend has reversed itself, and with gentrification , the black majority has dropped from 69 percent in 1980 to 54 percent in 2005. [3] Common nicknames for the city include A-Town , A-T-L (derived from its IATA airport code ), The Big Peach , The 4-0-4 (derived from its area code ), and Hotlanta . The city is also one of three cities in the United States to host the Summer Olympic Games , doing so in 1996. ( St. Louis in 1904 and Los Angeles in 1932 and 1984 are the others).
