Calhoun

Calhoun is best known in Georgia for its long-established floor-covering industry. The city is the seat of Gordon County and lies in northwest Georgia near the Oostanaula River, amid the rolling terrain between the Appalachian foothills and the state’s northern valleys. Nearby New Echota preserves the site that served as the Cherokee Nation’s capital from 1825 until the Cherokee removal era, making the area an important place for understanding Cherokee history in the Southeast. Calhoun also sits along Interstate 75, connecting it directly with Atlanta and Chattanooga.

The terrain of Georgia ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north to the low, sandy Atlantic Coastal Plain in the south and east, creating a state of sharply varied landscapes. The Chattahoochee River follows much of the Alabama border, while the Savannah River forms much of the boundary with South Carolina before reaching the Atlantic. Atlanta is closely linked to the US civil rights movement and includes the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park. On the coast, barrier islands and salt marshes frame Savannah, whose historic district is recognised for its network of public squares.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
