End of his career

During his second time as mayor, Hartsfield was key in the calm integration of Atlanta’s public schools. He helped Atlanta triple in size by adding several square miles. He helped get many public parks built, and he made more interstates in Atlanta. Hartsfield retired from public office in 1961. After his death in 1971, Atlanta named its airport Hartsfield International in his honor.
