Cumming
Tucked into Georgia’s rolling Piedmont north of Atlanta, Cumming is a place whose character is shaped by the low, wooded terrain around Lake Lanier. As the seat of Forsyth County, its centre is organized around civic buildings, shops and broad streets rather than a dense urban grid. The city grew from the county town laid out in the 1830s and was named for Colonel William Cumming, a Georgia militia officer. Today, downtown Cumming retains the scale of a regional centre, while Lake Lanier places boating and shoreline recreation close to town. The annual Cumming Country Fair & Festival at the Cumming Fairgrounds is a longstanding local event, bringing rides, food vendors and performances to the city.

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.
