Established in 1732, Georgia was the last of the original 13 U.S. colonies. Nearly 200 years later, with nearly 10 million people, Georgia is the 9th most populated state in the country. Georgia is also a beautiful place to live. From the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains in the north to the central Piedmont foothills where rivers cascade down into the continental plains in the south, Georgia truly has some spectacular natural scenery.

Today Georgia has a strong economy, is one of the most industrialized states in the South and serves as a transportation and communications hub for the region. Major industries in Georgia include food production, food processing, textiles and apparel, tobacco, paper products, and transportation and electrical equipment.
