Georgia
Known
today as the "Peach State," Georgia, founded in 1733, is one
of the original 13 states. It was named in honor of England's King
George II. During the Civil War, the fall of Atlanta was a crucial
turning point in the defeat of the South.
Today, Atlanta, which became Georgia's capital in
1868, is a thriving city with major national corporations, and it is
considered the economic and cultural center of the Southeast.
The state flower is the Cherokee rose.
