Following the signing of the [[Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations]] between the United States and the [[People's Republic of China]] which resulted in the United States terminating diplomatic relations with the [[Republic of China]], the consulate of the Republic of China in Atlanta was closed on 28 February 1979. On 1 March 1979, the Coordination Council for North American Affairs of the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China]] established the '''Atlanta Office of the Coordination Council for North American Affairs'''. On 10 October 1994, it was renamed the '''Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Atlanta'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rcils.nccu.edu.tw/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/中華民國與各國互駐代表機構之建制年表及疑考-.pdf|title=中華民國與各國互駐代表機構之建制年表及疑考|newspaper=rcils.nccu.edu.tw|date=2007|access-date=August 9, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1977-80v01/d104|title=104.
