Atlanta

Atlanta (in English: Atlanta) is the capital of the American state of Georgia. In 2000, 416,474 people lived in the city.

The city was founded in 1837, and the first settlers were farmers, craftsmen and merchants. During the Civil War, Atlanta played an important role as four railroads passed through the city. After long and drawn-out battles with the North, Atlanta surrendered on September 2, 1864, with much of the buildings completely destroyed.

The city experienced rapid economic growth after the Civil War and was fully rebuilt within 10 years.

Atlanta is now the main metropolis in the Southeastern United States, home to CNN, Coca-Cola, United Parcel Service (UPS), and more. Host of the 1996 Summer Olympics.

Cumberland Island National Seashore

In southern Georgia is the Cumberland Island National Seashore Conservation Area. The island is part of the system of protected coastal areas, and its main attraction is that it is completely untouched by human activity. You won’t find any roads, shops or restaurants here. Maximum comfort can be provided by a local primitive camp that connects individual hiking trails.

The island is covered with pristine forests, swampy areas and beautiful sandy beaches. It is thus a great place for adventurous people, but also for lovers of nature, peace and for explorers. Here you can observe wild animals, especially birds, engage in fishing, hunting or photography. If you want to camp in this reservation, it is a good idea to reserve your stay up to six months in advance. There are limited options for staying on the island, and everyone can only stay here for 7 days. The main season is considered to be late spring and autumn.

Fort Frederica National Monument

Fort Frederica located on the small island of St. Simons belonging to the US state of Georgia. The site is of great historical importance as it was the site of a major battle between Great Britain and Spain for dominance over the New World. In 1736, Fort Frederica was built on the island to defend British troops, and the entire island was then a British colony. However, France and Spain also claimed this territory.

In 1742, the British defeated the Spanish during the Battle of Bloody Marsh, and Britain gained control of all of Georgia. This battle took place about 6 miles south of Fort Frederica. The British regiment was disbanded in May 1749 and nine years later, in April 1758, a great fire destroyed a large part of the fort. Nevertheless, the remains of the walls, the barracks, the moat and several nearby houses have also been preserved to this day.

The ruins of Fort Frederica National Monument are thus only a silent reminder of colonial army battles. The fortress is open to the public, who can learn about its history and the entire course of the war. The island itself is located 12 miles from the city of Brunswick.
