Rome
Few places in northwest Georgia have a history as closely tied to river confluences as Rome. Founded in 1834, the city stands where the Etowah and Oostanaula join to form the Coosa River, a setting that shaped its early trade and transport. Its name and seven-hills comparison deliberately echo Italy’s capital, while the downtown street grid remains focused on the rivers. Broad Street is the commercial spine of the historic centre, and Berry College occupies a large campus north of town. Rome is also the county seat of Floyd County, set within Georgia’s Ridge and Valley region of parallel ridges and low valleys.

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.

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.
