Covington: Mainstrasse Village: I-71/I-75 N on Brent Spence Bridge
Covington sits along the Ohio River in northern Kentucky, where its riverfront faces downtown Cincinnati across the state line. The city developed as a 19th-century river and industrial centre, and its historic core retains blocks of brick commercial buildings and houses. The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, completed in 1866, joins Covington to Cincinnati; its innovative wire-cable design anticipated Roebling’s work on the Brooklyn Bridge. To the east, the Licking River meets the Ohio, while MainStrasse Village reflects the German-American heritage that shaped this part of the city. Covington’s compact downtown combines river crossings, neighbourhood streets and a metropolitan setting within the Cincinnati region.

Bourbon distilling is closely associated with the state, and Louisville’s Churchill Downs has hosted the Kentucky Derby since 1875.

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.
