Norwich
The landscape around Norwich is rolling and heavily wooded, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The city occupies the meeting point of the Yantic and Shetucket rivers, which join here to form the Thames River and continue south toward Long Island Sound. Founded in 1659, Norwich grew from a colonial settlement into an industrial center whose water-powered mills produced textiles and other goods. Its historic core retains civic and commercial buildings from that era, while Interstate 395 and Route 2 serve the wooded western side of the city. This is inland southeastern Connecticut, where river valleys, older urban districts and major road links meet.

Connecticut combines a deep manufacturing heritage with a heavily wooded interior in a way that reflects its position within southern New England. The Connecticut River runs south through the state before entering Long Island Sound at Old Saybrook, linking inland towns with the tidal coast. Hartford became a major American insurance centre, while New Haven is home to Yale University, founded in 1701. Along the Sound, working harbours and long-established coastal communities contrast with the quieter hills and small towns farther inland.

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.
