''Atlanta'' was laid down on 8 November 1883 at Chester, Pennsylvania by John Roach & Sons; launched on 9 October 1884; sponsored by Miss Jessie Lincoln, the daughter of Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln and granddaughter of President Abraham Lincoln; and commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 19 July 1886, Captain Francis M. Bunce in command.
==Design and construction==
''Atlanta'' was ordered as part of the "ABCD" ships, the others being the cruisers and and the dispatch vessel . All were ordered from the same shipyard, John Roach & Sons of Chester, Pennsylvania. However, when Secretary of the Navy William C. Whitney initially refused to accept ''Dolphin'', claiming her design was defective, the Roach yard went bankrupt and ''Atlanta'' was completed at the New York Navy Yard, which had little experience with steel-hulled ships.〔 Like the other "ABCD" ships, ''Atlanta'' was built with a sail rig to increase cruising range, later removed. In 1897-99 ''Atlanta'' received a new triple-expansion engine of and the 6-inch guns were converted to rapid firing with brass case ammunition replacing powder bags.〔
