In 1996 the City of Augusta consolidated with Richmond County to form Augusta-Richmond County. Augusta is Georgia's second oldest, second largest city and is located about 150 miles east of Atlanta. Along with several other Georgia and South Carolina counties, the region is known as the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).
