The fall line in the United States is a geographic boundary that marks the transition between the upland regions of the Piedmont and the coastal plain. It is characterized by a series of waterfalls and rapids where rivers descend from harder rocks to softer sediments, making it a significant location for early industrial development. Major cities, such as Richmond, Virginia, and Augusta, Georgia, are located along this line, taking advantage of the waterpower for mills and transportation. The fall line has historically influenced settlement patterns and economic activities in the region.
