Where is 404 area code? 

404 – Atlanta, GA

What area code is 404

Atlanta was founded in 1837 as a terminus of two railway lines. Ten years later, it was granted City rights, but remained only a small centre of freight transport until the beginning of the Civil War.

As a major transport hub in the Civil War, the city was the target of attack by the Union troops (northern states).

After 75 days of siege, General William Sherman broke the resistance of the Confederates (southern states) and burned down the city almost completely. In her novel “vanished from the Wind”, Margaret Mitchell describes the historical events in the framework. Atlanta was rebuilt very quickly after the Civil War and is now regarded as the “capital of the New South” – and has a much more hectic effect than its neighbors.
