Downtown Atlanta in Rainbow by Jamie Calkin - 100 piece jigsaw puzzle

Downtown Atlanta has a history that dates back to 1826, when surveyors began looking for a possible canal route between Chattanooga, TN and (then State capitol) Milledgeville, GA. By 1836, the state-financed Western and Atlantic Railroad, linking the middle of Georgia to the other states north and west, was granted a charter by the legislature. As a result, a town named Terminus, named for the end of the railroad line, was founded in 1837 in what is now Downtown Atlanta.Terminus received a name change in 1842 when the town's thirty citizens voted to change the name to Marthasville in honor of then Governor Lumpkin's daughter, Martha. However by 1845 the chief engineer of the Georgia Railroad proposed that Marthasville's name be changed, suggesting "Atlantica-Pacifica,"which was quickly shortened to "Atlanta". Governor Lumpkin seems to have supported the change, revealing that Martha's middle name was "Atalanta". Atlanta was incorporated in 1847. Originally a watercolor painting on 100%
