Georgia also stands first in the production of naval stores, tire fabric an.:! candlewick bedspreads. The cotton gin, sewing machine and circular saw were invented, and first used, in this state. Its Interesting history is filled with the many accomplishments of its pioneers, and many of the things that are now commonplace in our daily lives originated in Georgia.
Georgia was the first state to provide for a state-sup- - ported university. The University of Georgia, then known as Franklin College, was incorporated in 178 5.

The Colony of Georgia (so named from George II) was founded in 173 3 by English colonists headed by General James Edward Oglethorpe, and was one of the original thirteen states. Gecrgia is di,ided into 159 counties. The state capital is Atlanta.
The area of Georgia is 59,265 square miles and has a population of over 3,500,000. The largest city is Atlanta, with a population of approximately 550,000; the other large cities are Savannah, Augusta, Macon, and Columbus.
The publicly supported University System of Georgia 1s favorably known throughout the nation for its excellent scholastic achievements and comprises sixteen institutions for students.
Georgia's 226,000 fine farms with an area of over 24,000,000 acres are noted for .their excellent crops of cotton, watermelons, tobacco, peaches, pecans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc., also for its horses, mules, milk, beef cattle and fine poultry.
Its climate is so mild that all farming, industrial , mining and other out-door activities continue throughout the year, while livestock and farm animals graze in all-year pastures and poultry range out of doors throughout the twelve months.
There are over 91 ,000 miles of fine roads in the state, of which over 11,000 are hard-surfaced. Its near future road-building program will make its highways among the finest in the nation.
The twenty-one fine State Parks located throughout the state from the mountains to the ocean offer scenic beauty and recreational facilities that are now internationally known. Some of these mark important historical sites.
Georgia's many firsts in industry, agriculture, education, recreation, including golf, fishing and other out-door sport~ available from its beautiful mountains to its many miles of sandy ocean beaches make it, indeed, a delightful state in which to spend a vacation or one's whole life.
