Rome

Rome is best known within Georgia for the meeting of the Oostanaula and Etowah rivers, which form the Coosa River in the city. Set among seven hills in northwest Georgia, it was named for its Italian counterpart, an allusion that still shapes its local identity. Downtown centres on Broad Street and the historic Rome Clock Tower. The Chieftains Museum, in the former home of Cherokee leader Major Ridge, examines the region’s Cherokee history and the upheaval of removal. Riverfront paths and parks maintain Rome’s close connection with its waterways. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Rome and northwest Georgia.
