No. Atlantis was mentioned by Plato.
Plato himself never was in Atlantis. Most scholars say today that Plato invented Atlantis. But a minority grants the possibility of a distorted historical tradition in the Atlantis story. Where did Plato get this story from, if it is not fully invented? Basically, from Egypt, as he says. Either via Solon the Sage, as Plato says, or Plato was personally in Egypt and got it there directly, only claiming Solon to be the source in order to gain more authority - well, this is, what scholars discuss. No one knows for sure. So, Plato never "discovered" Atlantis.
He was told the story of Atlantis by a politician named Critias.

Plato was the first known writer of Atlantis.
There is no credible historical or archaeological evidence to support the existence of a philosopher named Plato from Atlantis. Plato himself did write about Atlantis in his dialogues, describing it as a legendary island civilization that ultimately sank into the sea, but it is considered a fictional tale rather than a historical account.
Apparently the capital of Atlantis was Atlantis. The earliest known discussion of Atlantis is in Plato's writings, essentially for the purpose of contrasting it with the city-state of Athens. However, since Plato's works are in the Public Domain by now, if you want to write your own story about Atlantis and call its capital city Georgis, no one can stop you.
Plato referred to the "kings" of Atlantis.
