Atlantic Steel was the first steel mill in Georgia. It was founded in 1901 as Atlanta Hoop Company to make cotton bale ties and barrel hoops. It was reorganized into Atlantic Steel Company in 1915 and broadened its product lines over the years. Operations at the plant were discontinued in 1998. Today, the multi-use complex, Atlantic Station, is located on the site. - Local Identifier:
