Photograph of William B. Hartsfield taken in 1960. He stands outside in a long coat and hat. He smiles widely and faces forward. A white single-story building stands in the background. Hartsfield served as mayor of Atlanta, Georgia for six terms (1937-41, 1942-61), longer than any other person in the city's history. Before his tenure as mayor, he was elected to the Atlanta City Council in 1922. As an alderman, he helped establish Atlanta's first airport, advancing the goal of the city to become the aviation hub of the Southeast. - Metadata URL:
