Maycomb (fictional town)

Maycomb is a small, old-fashioned Southern town characterized by deep-rooted traditions and social hierarchies. Its community is tightly-knit but often divides along racial and economic lines, reflecting the historical inequalities of the American South. The town features a mix of modest homes, dirt roads, and community institutions like schools and churches, embodying a slower-paced, familiar environment. Despite its quaint appearance, Maycomb is also a place where issues of prejudice, justice, and moral growth unfold, highlighting both the charm and the challenges of small-town life during the 1930s.
