The Colony of Georgia (so named from George II) was founded in 1733 by English colonists headed by General James Edward Oglethorpe, and was one of the original thirteen states. Georgia is divided 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 350,000; the other large cities are Savannah, Augusta, Macon, and Columbus.

The publicly supported University System of Georgia is favorably known through-

out the nation for its excellent scholastic achievements and comprises sixteen institutions

for students.

Georgia's

fine farms with an area of over 23,500,000 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 90,000 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 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 sports 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.
