Georgia, the last of the 13 British colonies established on the Atlantic seaboard, was founded by James Edward Oglethorpe with 114 original settlers on February 12, 1733, at the present site of the city of Savannah. As more people settled in the colony of Georgia, the Spanish in the Florida area became increasingly uneasy at the growing British presence. On July 7, 1742, Oglethorpe, then "General and Commander in Chief of the Forces of South Carolina and Georgia", defeated the Spanish at the Battle of Bloody Marsh on St. Simons Island, removing the Spanish threat to Georgia.
By the mid-19th century, Georgia had the greatest number of plantations of any state in the South, and in many respects epitomized plantation culture and economic dependence on slavery. Georgia is named after George II, who was king of Britain when Europeans first settled there in 1733.
Georgia’s history as a colony, and eventually a state, began when James Oglethorpe and a small group of settlers established Savannah at Yamacraw Bluff on the Savannah River. But of course, they were not the first people to live in what is now Georgia - the colonists were befriended by Tomochichi and his band of Native Americans, who had lived in this area for generations. And before Oglethorpe the Spanish had established a string of missions along the coast of what is now Georgia.
The historical backdrop of the banners that have flown over or were expected to fly over the State of Georgia is a long one with numerous unanswered inquiries. Numerous planned outlines were never executed. Numerous statutory outlines were changed by configuration.
On May 8th, 2003, the new Georgia flag above was approved. The new design displays two red stripes, one white stripe, and a blue field upper left. The state's official coat of arms (on the blue field) is surrounded by 13 white stars, symbolic of Georgia being one of the original 13 colonies.
On the seal itself, three columns support an arch, reflecting the administrative, legal and official branches of government. A standing man with a sword was drawn is protecting the U.S. Constitution. The Flag Company Inc had practical experience in banner outlines offered a unique release of decals and banners to remember the historical backdrop of Georgia State Flag for the future generations.
