This Day in History: January 2, 1788
Georgia, the Peach State, aka the Empire State of the South
Georgia was the last of the original Thirteen Colonies. It was established in 1732 and named after King George II of Great Britain. Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788.
