Hi there...I'm Dena, the
State host for Georgia Genealogy Trails.
On February 12, 1733, 113 settlers landed in the
HMS Anne at what was to become the city of Savannah.
James Edward Oglethorpe, one of the trustees of
the colony, traveled with the first group of colonists, laid out the
design of the town of Savannah, and acted as governor of the
colony.
Georgia was one of
the Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule in the American
Revolution. It was the last of the Thirteen Colonies to be established
as a colony. It became the fourth state after ratifying the United
States Constitution on January 2, 1788. It is known as the "Peach State"
or the "Empire State of the South" |
