The History of Atlanta

The first town was Omnia—two miles west and two miles south of the present Atlanta. It was thought the railroad was going that direction. Then, there were rumors the railroad was going 1½ miles south and 1 mile east. The town was moved and called Baltimore. The railroad finally came through where the present Atlanta is, so Baltimore was moved to what is now Atlanta. The first depot agent was from Atlanta, GA and named the new town Atlanta. The town site was surveyed in April 1885 and the first train ran between Beaumont and the state line on August 28, 1885.

Atlanta was built on land purchased from William H. Day located in the Southwest quarter of section 15 and the Southeast quarter of section 16 in Omnia Township. William H. Day was president of the town site company. William Earnest Darlington drove the stake that established the town site. He was born in Illinois and was twelve years old at this time.
