MARTA was formed by an act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1965. These were the five original counties in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and to this day are the five largest counties in the region and state. MARTA was originally proposed as a rapid transit agency for DeKalb, Fulton, Clayton, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties.
