What is National Georgia Day?

We recognize each state in the order they entered the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We feature a small part of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.

James Oglethorpe, Georgia's ancestor, settled Savannah, the colony's first capital. Augusta, Louisville, Milledgeville, Milledgeville, and eventually, Atlanta will have four more capitals, Augusta, Louisville, Milledgeville, and eventually, Atlanta.

A dividing has always existed both politically and socioeconomically. Given that Georgia was initially established as a barrier of fortification between South Carolina's southern border and the Spanish settled in Florida, perhaps Georgia lived up to destiny.
