College Park

Tucked into Georgia’s rolling Piedmont south of Atlanta, College Park is a place whose character is shaped by its location beside Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The city was founded in 1890 as Manchester and soon adopted its current name in reference to Cox College, which had relocated here in the 19th century. Its historic core retains late-19th- and early-20th-century residential streets, while Woodward Academy, founded in 1900, remains a major local institution. A MARTA station and the nearby airport link College Park closely with metropolitan Atlanta, though the city maintains its own long-established civic identity.

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.
