Situated on the Tennessee River and surrounded on three sides by forested plateaus, Chattanooga was founded as a trading post in 1815, and later in the Civil War its strategic location made it the starting point of Sherman’s march through Georgia. Today people use Chattanooga as a base for climbing the green and beautiful Smokey Mountains, fishing for bass, hang-gliding, and exploring caves.

 

Greyhound buses connect Chattanooga with Nashville, Knoxville, and Atlanta and stop at Broad Street, and a fleet of zero-emission electric buses, manufactured in Chattanooga, shuttle passengers in downtown.
 

Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport is the Gateway to South-eastern Tennessee and North Georgia, and is located three miles out of the city. Taxis and Car Rental companies are based at the airport.
