About Georgia
Georgia was founded in 1733, the last of the 13 original colonies of America. During the American Revolution, Georgia became a state, and Georgian leaders were among the first to sign the Declaration of Independence. Georgia became the fourth state to ratify the Constitution in 1788.
Georgia was a flourishing agricultural state in the first half of the 19th century, growing cotton and rice. Georgia became one of the wealthiest states in the South by 1860. The Civil War, however, devastated the economy of the state, and when tenant farming and sharecropping replaced the old system of slavery, the state stayed broke. Infestations by boll weevils in the cotton crops during the Great Depression only served to make things worse, and the only way for many people to survive was to leave the sate.
Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, and the most populated. To date, Atlanta has over 5.2 million residents. The majority of those residents are black. Atlanta stood apart from other cities in the South who supported segregation during the Civil Rights Movement. Many called it the “City Too Busy to Hate.” Atlanta became more and more popular as a place for African Americans to relocate, considering its progressive politics. Blacks soon possessed the majority of political clout in the city, and since 1974, every mayor of Atlanta has been African American. The same goes for most of the city’s high-profile government officials, rescue workers and police officers.
Augusta, Georgia, was founded in 1735 as a first line of defense against the Spanish and the French. Named after the Princess of Whales, it is Georgia’s second largest city.
Savannah, Georgia, is the “Hostess City of the South,” and its reputation for Southern charm and hospitality draws millions of visitors every year. Many of the distinguished buildings in the historic district were demolished in the 1930s and 1940s…to create parking lots. City planners divided beautiful and historic squares with streets and fire lanes to speed traffic flow. When the city demolished the City Market on Ellis Square, built in 1870, and announced plans to demolish the Davenport House, built in 1821, seven Georgia women created the Historic Savannah Foundation, with the hopes of preserving the city from destruction.
In 1979, the Savannah College of Art and Design was founded, and began a process of renovation and adaptive reuse of many notable downtown buildings, rather than building a centralized campus. This effort, along with the work of the Historic Savannah Foundation and other preservation groups, has contributed greatly to Savannah’s now-famous rebirth.
Over the years, Georgia has been given many nicknames. Some call Georgia the Buzzard State, in commemoration of an early state law to protect buzzards. The Goober State is another popular name, a reference to the state’s enormous annual peanut crop. Georgia is known as the Peach State, for the famous peaches grown there, and the peach emblem is on the state’s automobile license plates. Georgia is also known as the Empire State of the South. This nickname alludes to New York, which is known as the Empire State, and reflects Georgia’s size and the rapid development of its economy.
