Mountain View, Georgia

Mountain View (also known as Rough and Ready) is an unincorporated community in northwest Clayton County, Georgia, United States.

The community is bounded on the east and south by Forest Park, on the north by the Fulton County line, and on the west by the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

During his four terms in office (1972-1977) Mayor Ray King, though popular with his constituents, was charged with bribery, nepotism, conspiracy, assault, and violating the city charter by accepting an illegal salary.

"[2] In 1972, (then) Governor Jimmy Carter suspended Mountain View's police powers for several months during an investigation into an alleged speed trap on I-75.

However, long before Mountain View was formally dissolved, the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation actively acquired properties and assisted in relocation of the residential population due to noise impacts from the nearby runways.
