A RESOLUTION

Commemorating the 130th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of College Park; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the land that encompasses the City of College Park was originally the ancestral home of the Muskogee (Creek) Nation, whose deep connection to this terrain established a legacy of stewardship that remains a cornerstone of the community's heritage; and

WHEREAS, the City of College Park is uniquely positioned at the headwaters of the Flint River, marking this community as a vital guardian of one of Georgia's most essential natural resources as it begins its journey toward the Gulf; and

WHEREAS, the mid-19th century arrival of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad transformed the landscape into a bustling corridor of commerce, with the Main Street train depot serving as the central engine for the city's early development and economic growth; and

WHEREAS, the community reached a historic milestone when it was formally incorporated on December 16, 1891, beginning its official journey with a pioneering population of approximately 600 residents; and

WHEREAS, the city's identity was further elevated by the establishment of the College Park Historic District, which stands today as one of the largest urban historic districts in the State of Georgia, meticulously preserving over 850 buildings that reflect the timeless architectural character of our past; and

WHEREAS, the 20th century saw the city's trajectory forever changed by the evolution of Candler Field into the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, cementing College Park's status as "Georgia's Global Gateway"; and

WHEREAS, this 130-year milestone provides an opportunity for all citizens to reflect on the resilience, diversity, and innovation that define the City of College Park.
