United States, Georgia, Fulton County, Atlanta, 33.749, -84.38798Atlanta Regional Commission1969In the past eight years--1960 to 1969--Metropolitan Atlanta has grown outward in all directions. The growth pull, however, has been much stronger in some directions than in others. Especially has there been a strong pull to the north and east which, taken together, attracted a population gain of more than 212,000 persons. Relative population gains in various parts of the metropolitan region are depicted on this map. The center octagon roughly approximates a 37-square-mile area which, prior to 1952, was the City of Atlanta. The radial bars represent suburban population growth in eight directions out from the old city.Atlanta standard metropolitan statistical area: population-housingatlpp0014Locations: Fulton County (Ga.) -- Atlanta (Ga.)application/zipapplication/vnd.google-earth.kml+xmlimage/jpegengGeorgia State University Libraryhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/PopulationDirections of Growth: 1960 to 1969, Atlanta (SMSA)StillImage
