Postcard image of an artistic rendering of a flowering cotton blossom. Augusta, Georgia's premier location on the Savannah River allowed the city to become a center for the cotton trade in the United States. During the early 1900s, Augusta was recognized as the second largest inland cotton market in the world, and promoted within the United States as the "Lowell of the South." By 1908, Augusta was home to thirteen cotton mills that employed nearly seven thousand Augustans.
