HISTORY OF GEORGIA

British rule ended with the founding of Georgia. This region should be settled to stop the ambitions of the Spanish established in Florida. General James Oglethorpe visited a friend in jail and was shocked by the situation of prisoners for debt. That was how he got the idea to create a colony in the New World, in 1732 when he won the King George II, gave him a letter to populate the territory along the Savannah River. In honor of King George (George) took the name the colony.
