During the late 1900s, the majority of population growth in Georgia occurred in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Atlanta experienced rapid urbanization and industrialization during this time period, attracting people from rural areas and other states in search of jobs and economic opportunities. The city's population boomed, leading to significant growth in its surrounding suburbs as well. This growth also had ripple effects on the rest of the state, as infrastructure and development projects expanded to accommodate the increasing population in and around Atlanta.
