Augusta–Richmond County US /ə.ˈɡʌs.tə/ is a consolidated city-county in the U.S. state of Georgia, located at the fall line of the Savannah River, at the head of its navigable portion.
The city was named after Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (1719-1772), wife of Frederick, Prince of Wales. She was the mother of King George III of the United Kingdom.
According to 2012 US Census estimates, the Augusta-Richmond County population was 197,872, not counting the unconsolidated cities of Hephzibah and Blythe.
Augusta is the principal city of the Augusta-Richmond County Metropolitan Statistical Area, which as of 2012 had an estimated population of 580,270, making it the third-largest city and the second-largest metro area in the state after Atlanta. It is the 116th-largest city in the United States. Internationally, Augusta is best known for hosting The Masters golf tournament each spring.
The area along the river was long inhabited by varying cultures of indigenous peoples, who relied on the river for fish, water and transportation. The site of Augusta was used by Native Americans as a place to cross the Savannah River, because of its location on the fall line.
Augusta is the feminine form of Augustus in Latin. It is used in many European languages as a feminine given name.
The Roman Empire included the honorific Augusta in the name of many colonies and provincial capitals, at first after the Emperor Augustus and then after the Roman title augustus borne by (senior) emperors. These many cities were then distinguished, usually by appending the name of the people people nearby.
I walk down Broad Street and highlight some features of Downtown Augusta, including renovation & revitalization projects, the feel of Downtown and some small talk with the consumers. This is part of a larger project where I will discuss and go over the economy of Augusta and its aspects, including Downtowns revitalization. This is basically more of a rough draft than anything.

In this video I discuss the reasons, I believe, are the root of poverty in Augusta, Georgia, but also many cities like her. I go over issues like race, globalization, manufacturing, social movements, taxes, urban sprawl and much more. This is the preface to a much larger and more in depth report that I will eventually do for the city. I really hope you guys take this one at heart and forgive any mistakes. I was eager to get it to YouTube and did not edit it properly at all, so it is more of a conversation piece than anything. If you want to discuss these issues with me in depth, I will gladly listen to what you have to say, I really want peoples input to put into this report to make it more rounded. There are very controversial issues in this report, including the mecca of controversy...
