Augusta

Tucked along the Savannah River on Georgia’s eastern border, Augusta is a city whose character is shaped by the river’s role in trade, industry and recreation. Founded in 1736 as a British colonial outpost, it grew into a commercial centre serving Georgia and the river routes of the American South. The Augusta Canal, begun in 1845, channelled river water to textile mills and remains a historic waterway. Each spring, Augusta National Golf Club hosts the Masters Tournament, bringing international attention to the city. Riverwalk Augusta follows the downtown bank, while brick warehouse districts recall cotton-era commerce.
