Atlanta History - Important Notes:
Coca-Cola was invented in Atlanta. In 1886 a man named John S. Pemberton invented
the popular beverage and started selling it at a local pharmacy.
The city was largely destroyed during the Civil War, but was quickly rebuilt to
become even larger and more modern.
Margaret Mitchell incorporated the history of Atlanta into her novel 'Gone With
The Wind'.
