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.
The human history of Georgia begins well before the founding of the colony, with Native American cultures that date back to the Paleoindian Period at the end of the Ice Age, nearly 13,000 years ago. The Clovis culture, identified by its unique projectile points, is the earliest documented group to have lived in present-day Georgia.
In 1864, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman invaded Georgia, captured Atlanta and began his infamous March to the Sea, cutting a 200-mile-wide swath of fire and destruction reaching all the way to Savannah. Georgia's landscape varies greatly as it sweeps from the Appalachian Mountains in the north to the marshes of the Atlantic coast on the southeast to the Okefenokee Swamp on the south.
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 pillars support an arch, representing the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government. A standing man with a sword was drawn is defending the U.S. Constitution.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Georgia State flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Georgia State flag for the future.
