4 Wilson and the giant peach
The Big A, The ATL, Dogwood City. What’s in a name?
Atlanta is where you’ll find almost all things peach. Did you know that
the city’s official name took after Martha “Atalanta” Lumpkin, the
daughter of former Georgia Governor Wilson Lumpkin? Previously the
city was called Marthasville, after her first name.
