Postcard view of a streetcar with the name "Richard Peters" on the side at the corner of Marietta Street and North Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia.
Richard Peters (1810-1889) was a civil engineer, capitalist, developer and one of the early settlers of Atlanta. Peters served as the superintendent of the Georgia Railroad from 1837 to 1845. He then moved to Marthasville (later to be renamed Atlanta), soon established the first flour mill in the city, and became president of the first street car system in the city. - Local Identifier:
