About Atlanta

Atlanta is a tiny, quiet village in south-central Nebraska, tucked away in Phelps County just a short drive from Holdrege. Home to around a hundred residents, it offers a peaceful rural setting surrounded by open farmland and prairie skies. Founded as a railroad stop in the 1880s, the community grew into a bustling agricultural hub with its own hotels, grain elevators, and local shops. Today, Atlanta is a calm spot for anyone looking for true small-town quiet while staying close to neighboring jobs and county services.
