About location

Built around a colonial settlement on the Savannah River, Augusta grew into one of eastern Georgia’s major cities. Established in 1736 under James Oglethorpe, it developed as a trading and transport centre at the fall line, where the Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain. The Augusta Canal, begun in 1845 to supply water power to mills, later became central to the city’s industrial expansion. Its canal corridor and historic downtown now sit alongside major routes linking Georgia with South Carolina. Augusta is internationally associated with the Masters Tournament, held annually at Augusta National Golf Club since 1934.

City 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.

Georgia
Region Georgia

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.
