Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students.

Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.

  • Electric Lights Come to Georgia Atlanta Was One of the First Cities in Georgia to Demand Electric Lighting
    o Our Promise to You o Our Leadership Electric lights come to Georgia Atlanta was one of the first cities in Georgia to demand electric lighting. In 1883, its citizens organized and promoted the formation of an electric company. It seems they were motivated by a spirit of pride, in that they did not want Atlanta to lag behind other towns in acquiring this great invention. The citizens raised $3,500 in a stock offering and formed the Georgia Electric Light Company of Atlanta. The company received a franchise to “serve patrons from a central station, or from isolated plants, electric lights for stores, dwellings, machine shops, depots, inside and out, or to introduce said lights wherever desired.” Later that year, the new company entered into a contract to purchase an electric light plant of 45 lights for the sum of $8,500 from the Southern Light Company of New York. In 1884, the company built a 940 kilowatt generating plant on Marietta and Spring streets and installed 22 electric street lights. By 1889, half the generation from the plant was powering 800 streetlights; the rest was being used to operate another new invention, electric streetcars. In 1891, an Atlanta banker named Henry Atkinson began pulling together the foundation of what was to become Georgia Power Company. He became a shareholder in Georgia Electric Light Company of Atlanta, and a year later, he quietly accumulated enough stock to take control of the operation. Atkinson was the perfect person to take hold of a fledgling electric company, which he now simply called Georgia Electric Light Company.

  • Georgia Power Company Has Been Serving Georgians Since the 1880S
    BUSINESS HISTORY PROFILE Georgia Power Company has been serving Georgians since the 1880s. From a small electric company supplying electricity primarily to Atlanta residents, Georgia Power has grown to become the state’s leading power provider. Not just a producer of electricity, Georgia Power lives up to its longtime motto “A Citizen Wherever We Serve” by creating jobs, bringing new industry to the state, and running one of the largest corporate foundations in Georgia. The people of Atlanta took the initiative to organize the first Georgia Power Company, the Georgia Electric Light Company of Atlanta (GELCA). In 1883, the company built a 940-kilowatt generating plant on Marietta and Spring Streets, installed 22 electric streetlights, and received a franchise that allowed it to provide electricity to Atlanta residents. At first, GELCA primarily provided electricity for street lighting and street Top: Henry M. Atkinson, founder of railway transportation. After Atlanta banker Henry M.

Although the Davis Street Plant was generating 11,000 kilowatts of power and serving about 400 customers, the demand for electricity continued to increase. Atkinson recognized this demand and decided to expand the company. He and rival Joel Hurt, a streetcar entrepreneur, competed to gain control of Atlanta’s small electric, streetcar, and steam-heat businesses.
