An interesting piece of information about Decatur is that in the 1830s, the railroad companies tried to make Decatur the southernmost stop on the lines. People in the area didn’t welcome what comes with a railroad: noise, more people, and pollution. Instead, the railroad founded a new city to the west-southwest of Decatur for the terminal. This town would later become known as Atlanta, Georgia.
