Contents generally clean. Atlanta businessman H. I. Kimball was the Director General of the International cotton Exposition. This exposition preceded the more famous Atlanta Cotton States exposition in 1895. From the New Georgia Encyclopedia:<br /> <br /> Atlanta held its first exposition named the International Cotton Exposition in Oglethorpe Park in 1881. The city then had fewer than 40000 residents and the primary sense in which the first exposition was â€œinternationalâ€ was the display of cotton plants from around the world. Nevertheless Atlantans were eager to host the 1881 exposition to promote investment and to help the city toward its goal of becoming an industrial center which was a primary component of Gradyâ€™s â€œNew Southâ€ concept. Although attendance was lower than expected fewer than 200000 in paid attendance during its two-and-a-half-month run city leaders demonstrated that they could work together to host a major event and that Atlanta was serious about its role in textile production at a time when the North was beginning to grow dissatisfied with the efficiency of southern cotton processing. The exposition displayed new crop planters and cotton seed cleaners along with a model of Eli Whitneyâ€™s original cotton gin and speakers addressed the crowds about agricultural technology and political reforms.
