Atlanta
Tucked into Georgia’s rolling Piedmont, Atlanta is a city whose character is shaped by ridges, creeks and dense urban growth. The Chattahoochee River forms part of its western setting, while the wider metropolitan area is among the largest in the southeastern United States. Founded as a railroad terminus in the 1830s, Atlanta was rebuilt after the Civil War and grew into a major commercial and transport centre. Its civic identity is closely linked to the civil-rights movement: Martin Luther King Jr. was born here, and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park preserves places associated with his life and work. High-rise Midtown stands alongside older residential districts, with MARTA rail and bus services connecting much of the city. Atlanta also hosted the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.

Atlanta occupies rolling Piedmont terrain in northern Georgia, near the Eastern Continental Divide and within reach of the Chattahoochee River, which forms part of the city’s western boundary. Georgia’s capital grew into a major rail junction in the 19th century, and rail lines still underpin its transport and business role across the Southeast. Downtown centres on the Georgia State Capitol, while Centennial Olympic Park recalls the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. East of downtown, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park preserves sites associated with the civil-rights leader, including Ebenezer Baptist Church.

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.
