Region: Piney Woods
Established 1872 with building of Texas and Pacific Railroad. Capt. P.R. Scott donated 100 acres to the railroad for the location of the new Atlanta, named for the Georgia home of many early settlers. Sites of prehistoric Caddo Indian Villages have been noted in the region. The area served as a gateway for early settlers of Texas, as pioneers from Missouri and Arkansas crossed the Red and Sulphur rivers on ferries.
Visitors can tour the historic downtown plaza, the Texas and Pacific Railroad Depot and Museum, Veterans Memorial Plaza, or the Atlanta library's genealogical section, which is rich in information.
Fishing, hunting and birdwatching opportunities abound in the areas on and around nearby lakes.
Area annual events include the Wildflower Trails in April, Hoot "N" Holler BBQ Cook-Off in October, and the Cullen Baker Fair on the first Saturday in November.
