==History==
[[File:Franklin House (Athens, Georgia) 1936 Historic American Buildings Survey.jpg|thumb|left|Historic American Buildings of Athens in 1936]]
In the late 18th century, a trading settlement on the banks of the [[Oconee River]] called Cedar Shoals stood where Athens is located today. On January 27, 1785, the [[Georgia General Assembly]] granted a [[charter]] by [[Abraham Baldwin]] for the University of Georgia as the first [[public university|state-supported university]]. Sixteen years later, in 1801, a committee from the university's board of [[trustee]]s selected a site for the university on a hill above Cedar Shoals in what was then [[Jackson County, Georgia|Jackson County]]. On July 25, [[John Milledge]], one of the trustees and later governor of Georgia, bought {{convert|633|acre|ha}} from Daniel Easley and donated it to the university. Milledge named the surrounding area [[Athens, Greece|Athens]] after the city that was home to the [[academy]] of [[Plato]] and [[Aristotle]] in [[Greece]].<ref>Hynds, Ernest C. (1974; 2009 ed.). [http://books.google.com/books?id=F3jXcKhBqnsC&lpg=PP1&dq=athens%20georgia&pg=PA2 ''Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia''], pp. 2-4. University of Georgia Press.</ref>
[[File:Athens, Georgia City Hall 2008.jpg|thumbnail|left|Downtown Athens, looking down College Avenue towards Broad Street]] The first buildings on the University of Georgia campus were made from logs. The town grew as lots adjacent to the college were sold to raise money for the additional construction of the school. By the time the first class graduated from the University in 1804, Athens consisted of three homes, three stores and a few other buildings facing Front Street, now known as Broad Street. Completed in 1806 and named in honor of [[Benjamin Franklin]], Franklin College was the University of Georgia's and the City of Athens' first permanent structure. This brick building is now known as Old College.

Athens officially became a town in December 1806 with a government made up of a three-member commission.<ref>Hynds 1974, p. 9.</ref> The university continued to grow, as did the town, with [[cotton mill]]s fueling the industrial and commercial development. Athens became known as the "[[Manchester]] of the South" after the city in England known for its mills. In 1833 a group of Athens businessmen led by James Camak, tired of their wagons getting stuck in the mud, built one of Georgia's first railroads, the [[Georgia Railroad|Georgia]], connecting Athens to [[Augusta, Georgia|Augusta]] by 1841, and to Marthasville (now [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]]) by 1845.  In the 1830s and 1840s, transportation developments combined with the growing influence of the University of Georgia made Athens one of the state's most important cities as the antebellum era neared the height of its development.  The university essentially created a chain reaction of growth in the community which developed on its doorstep.<ref>Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia  By Ernest C. Hynds page 41</ref>

During the [[American Civil War]], Athens became a significant supply center when the New Orleans armory was relocated to what is now called the Chicopee building. Fortifications can still be found along parts of the North Oconee River between College and Oconee St. In addition, Athens played a small part in the ill-fated [[Stoneman's 1863 Raid|Stoneman Raid]] when a skirmish was fought on a site overlooking the Middle Oconee River near what is now the old Macon Highway. As in many southern towns, there is a Confederate memorial. It is located on Broad Street, near the University of Georgia Arch.

During [[Reconstruction era of the United States|Reconstruction]], Athens continued to grow. The form of government changed to a mayor-council government with a new city charter on August 24, 1872, and Captain Henry Beusse became the first mayor of Athens.<ref>Thomas, Frances Taliaferro (2nd ed. 2009). [http://books.google.com/books?id=o-8jFTZDrIwC&pg=PA293 ''A Portrait of Historic Athens and Clarke County''], p. 293. University of Georgia Press.</ref>  Henry Beusse was instrumental in the rapid growth of the city after the Civil War. After holding the position of mayor he worked in the railroad industry and helped to bring railroads to the region creating growth in many of the surrounding communities. Freed slaves moved to the city.  Many were attracted by the new centers for education such as the [[Freedmen's Bureau]]. This new population was served by three black newspapers: the ''Athens Blade'', the ''Athens Clipper'', and the ''Progressive Era''.<ref>Thomas 2009, [http://books.google.com/books?id=o-8jFTZDrIwC&pg=PA115 pp. 115-17].</ref>

In the 1880s, as Athens became more densely populated, city services and improvements were undertaken. The Athens [[Police]] Department was founded in 1881 and [[Public school (government funded)|public schools]] opened in fall of 1886. Telephone service was introduced in 1882 by the [[Bell Telephone Company]]. Transportation improvements were also introduced with a street paving program beginning in 1885 and [[streetcar]]s, pulled by mules, in 1888.

[[File:AthensGeorgiaStreetScene2008 05 s 03.jpg|thumbnail|left|Broad Street in Downtown Athens near North Campus of the [[University of Georgia]]]]
By its centennial in 1901, Athens was a much-changed city. A new [[city hall]] was completed in 1904. An [[African-American]] [[middle class]] and professional class grew around the corner of Washington and Hull Streets, known as the "Hot Corner", where the Morton Building was constructed in 1910.<ref>Doster, Emily Jean & Doster, Gary L. (2011). [http://books.google.com/books?id=cQaMPnfjoiQC&pg=PA98 ''Athens''], pp. 98-99. Arcadia Publishing.</ref> The theater at the Morton Building hosted movies and performances by black musicians such as [[Louis Armstrong]], [[Cab Calloway]], and [[Duke Ellington]]. In 1907 aviation pioneer [[Ben T. Epps]] became Georgia's first pilot on a hill outside town that would become the [[Athens-Ben Epps Airport]]. Athens got its first tall building in 1908 with the seven-story Southern Mutual Insurance Company building.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}}

During [[World War II]], the [[U.S. Navy]] built new buildings and paved runways to serve as a training facility for naval pilots. In 1954, the U.S. Navy chose Athens as the site for the [[Navy Supply Corps]] school. The school was located in Normal Town in the buildings of the old [[State Normal School (Athens, Georgia)|Normal School]]. The school closed in 2011 under the [[Base Realignment and Closure]] process. The {{convert|56|acre}} site is now home to the GHSU/UGA Medical Partnership, the UGA College of Public Health, and other health-related programs

In 1961, Athens witnessed part of the civil rights movement when [[Charlayne Hunter-Gault|Charlayne Hunter]] and [[Hamilton E. Holmes|Hamilton Holmes]] became the first two black students to enter the [[University of Georgia]].<ref>Dyer, Thomas G. (1985).[http://books.google.com/books?id=BipOZ3shvxUC&pg=PA329 ''The University of Georgia: A Bicentennial History, 1785-1985''], p. 329. University of Georgia Press.</ref> Three years later, a gas station attendant and member of the [[KKK]] followed black Army reserve officer [[Lemuel Penn]] out of town and murdered him in Madison County near [[Colbert, Georgia]]. This received national attention. Despite the ''[[Brown vs. Board of Education]]'' [[United States Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] ruling in 1954, the Athens–Clarke County school district remained segregated until 1964, when Athens High School admitted two African-American students.

As of the [[census]]<ref name="GR2" /> of 2010, there were 100,266 people, 39,239 households, and 19,344 families residing in the city. The [[population density]] was 851.5 people per square mile (328.8/km²). There were 41,633 housing units at an average density of 353.6 per square mile (136.5/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 64.71% [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], 27.37% [[Race (United States Census)|Black]] or [[African American (U.S. Census)|African American]], 0.21% [[Native American (U.S. Census)|Native American]], 3.15% [[Asian (U.S. Census)|Asian]], 0.04% [[Pacific Islander (U.S. Census)|Pacific Islander]], 3.11% from [[Race (United States Census)|other races]], and 1.41% from two or more races. [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]] or [[Latino (U.S. Census)|Latino]] of any race were 6.39% of the population.

The large population increase from 1990 to 2000 reflects the altered boundaries that came with the consolidation of Athens and Clarke County, not just the influx of new residents.

Athens is part of the Atlanta television market.  Two Atlanta-market television stations, [[WGTV]] (channel 8) and [[WUVG]] (channel 34), are licensed to Athens. However their transmitters are in the Atlanta metropolitan area.  WGTV broadcasts from the top of [[Stone Mountain]]. From 2009 until 2015, UGA operated a television station, WUGA-TV (formerly WNEG-TV) from studios on the UGA campus, but maintained its transmitter near [[Toccoa, Georgia|Toccoa]], its city of license; what is now [[WGTA (TV)|WGTA]] has since moved its studios back to Toccoa after being sold by UGA.

==Infrastructure==
<!---needs to be expanded to include rail, bus, utilities, etc. Roads would be broken off as a third level subsection--->
<!--
===Transportasi===

====Highways====
The city is the focus of U.S. Highways [[U.S. Highway 29|29]], [[U.S. Highway 78|78]], [[U.S. Highway 129|129]], [[U.S. Highway 441|441]], and [[Georgia State Route 72]], and near the eastern terminus of [[Georgia State Route 316|Georgia 316]] and the southern terminus of [[State Route 106 (Georgia)|State Route 106]]. Other state routes in Athens are [[Georgia State Route 8|SR 8]] and [[Georgia State Route 15|SR 15]], which follow US 29 and 441 respectively, [[Georgia State Route 10|SR 10]] which follows US 78 east and west of Athens but deviates to US 78 Business to go through Athens, and [[Georgia State Route 15 Alternate|SR 15 Alternate]] which starts at the SR 10 Loop interchange at Milledge Avenue and follows Milledge and Prince Avenues to US 129 which it follows to the north. The [[Georgia State Route 10 Loop]] serves as a limited access perimeter. The city is bisected east to west by Broad St/Atlanta Highway (US 78 Bus and SR 10) and north to south by Milledge Avenue (SR 15 Alt). Lumpkin St, Prince Ave (SR 15 Alt), North Ave, and Oconee St (US 78 Bus) along with Broad St are major thoroughfares radiating from [[Downtown (Athens)]]. College Station Rd and Gaines School Rd are major thoroughfares on the east side of Athens, along with US 78 east (Lexington Rd). On the west side most major thoroughfares intersect US 78 Bus (Broad St/Atlanta Hwy), including Alps Rd/Hawthorne Ave, Epps Bridge Pkwy, and Timothy Rd/Mitchell Bridge Rd.

====Bandar udara====
[[Athens-Ben Epps Airport]] (FAA code AHN) has been operational since 1917. It is located east of downtown outside [[Georgia State Route 10 Loop]] and north of [[US Route 78]]. AHN qualifies for air service to be provided under the [[Essential Air Service]] provisions. Currently, [[SeaPort Airlines]] provides commercial air service to [[Nashville International Airport]], TN.  Until 2012, [[Georgia Skies]] and Wings Air provided commercial air service to [[Atlanta]], and until 2008 (prior to either airline's current AHN service), [[US Airways]] provided service to [[Charlotte]]. Atlanta's [[Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport]] (ATL) is the primary point of departure and arrival for Athenians due to the relative lack of air service to AHN.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.athensairport.net/ |title=Athens-Ben Epps Airport |publisher=Athensairport.net |date= |accessdate=2010-08-14}}</ref>

====Alternative====
Athens encourages use of alternative transportation. Bike lanes are provided on major thoroughfares. A rail-to-trail redevelopment is being considered to connect [[Downtown (Athens)|Downtown]] with the East Side. Organizations such as [[BikeAthens]] support and encourage biking. Skateboarding and small scooters are also common sights around UGA campus and Downtown.

=====Rail=====
Athens has no direct passenger rail service; the closest [[Amtrak]] stations are located in [[Peachtree Station|Atlanta]], [[Gainesville, Georgia (Amtrak station)|Gainesville]], and [[Toccoa (Amtrak station)|Toccoa]]. Freight service is provided by [[CSX]]<ref>http://www.dot.state.ga.us/maps/Documents/railroad/Georgia_Rail_Map_plain.pdf</ref> and [[Athens Line]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://railga.com/athensline.html |title=The Athens Line |publisher=Railga.com |date= |accessdate=2010-08-14}}</ref> the latter having leased tracks from [[Norfolk Southern]]. The [[Georgia Department of Transportation]] has proposed the city as the terminus of a commuter line that links [[Atlanta]] and Gwinnett County along the [[Georgia 316]] corridor.<ref>http://www.dot.state.ga.us/maps/Documents/railroad/proposed_passenger.pdf</ref>

===Utilities===
Electric service in Athens-Clarke is provided by two customer-owned electric cooperatives, [[Walton EMC]] and [[Jackson Electric Membership Corporation|Jackson EMC]], as well as by [[Georgia Power]], a subsidiary of [[Southern Company]]. Water utility is provided by the city. Garbage is provided by private companies according to customer purchase, though the city does offer municipal garbage pick up as a service.  [[Natural gas]] is supplied by [[Atlanta Gas Light]] through various marketers within the deregulated market.
