The Fall Line is a geographic feature that marks the boundary between the Piedmont Plateau and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. It is a zone of waterfalls and rapids, where rivers descending from the Piedmont Plateau meet the softer rocks of the Coastal Plain. This region was heavily populated by Native Americans due to its abundant natural resources, and it continued to be an important area for settlement and transportation in the colonial and post-colonial periods.
