Only the actual city limits, not the metro area and not as long ago as the Civil War. The balance tipped in the late sixties and early seventies with white flight from the areas around Grant Park, and West End. With gentrification over the last 20 years, some of it has tipped back.
I've had family in Atlanta since before it was a city. My mother's ancestors farmed where the Richard Russell Federal Building is now. They donated the land for the construction of the railroad station and moved to Clayton County. The rail station was torn down and the Federal building built on the spot.
