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" |
