The capital of Georgia is Atlanta. Georgia has had five different state capitals, including Savannah, Augusta, Louisville, Milledgeville, and Atlanta. Atlanta became the state capital in 1868 after the post-war Constitutional Convention of 1867-68 voted to relocate the capital of Georgia from Milledgeville to Atlanta on a temporary basis. Atlanta was already recognized as a major transportation center and a center of commerce for the Southeast, and had been suggested (and rejected) before the war as a potential new capital. The City of Atlanta encouraged the relocation with a standing offer of land and money for a capitol building. Today, Atlanta serves as the county seat of Fulton County and the Georgia State Capitol building is located there.
