Known for its pro-business climate, Atlanta has a truly diversified economy that has proven to be more resistant to economic downtowns then other cities in the country. The city was founded in the early 19th century as a railroad settlement (originally named Terminus) and has been rich in American heritage ever since. No one large company or industry dominates the local economy, although the city is home to the headquarters of a vast array of fortune 1000 companies, including Home depot, Delta, and Coca-Cola. Job growth in Atlanta is also outpacing the US economy as a whole, making the city one of the best locations for renting affordable office space in Georgia.
