Rome
Rome sits at the confluence of the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers in northwestern Georgia, where their waters form the Coosa River. Established in 1834, it is the county seat of Floyd County and a commercial and civic centre for the surrounding region. Downtown developed along the riverbanks, with Broad Street serving as its traditional main thoroughfare. Martha Berry, founder of nearby Berry College, left a lasting mark on the area; the college occupies a large campus north of the city. Rome is also known for its seven hills, a local feature that gives its river-crossed centre a distinct form among Georgia towns.

Rome is best known within Georgia for the meeting of the Oostanaula and Etowah rivers, which form the Coosa River in the city. Set among seven hills in northwest Georgia, it was named for its Italian counterpart, an allusion that still shapes its local identity. Downtown centres on Broad Street and the historic Rome Clock Tower. The Chieftains Museum, in the former home of Cherokee leader Major Ridge, examines the region’s Cherokee history and the upheaval of removal. Riverfront paths and parks maintain Rome’s close connection with its waterways. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Rome and northwest Georgia.

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.
