Georgia History and Economy

During the American War of Independence, Georgia became the only colony in which London managed to temporarily restore its power. In December 1778, royal troops landed in Georgia and, with the support of loyalists (supporters of the metropolis), captured several of its districts, including Savannah. In July 1779, Governor James Wright, who had fled three years earlier, returned to the colony. Despite attempts by the American army to liberate Georgia, the British left Savannah only after the end of the war in 1782.

On January 2, 1788, Georgia ratified the Constitution of the United States of America, thus becoming the fourth state of the United States.

Now, about 500,000 people live in the capital and largest city of the state of Georgia, Atlanta. In the metropolis formed around Atlanta, there are about 6,100,000 residents.

Georgia’s economy is characterized by a well-developed service sector, industry, agriculture and tourism. The state’s leading industries are food processing, textiles and clothing, paper and lumber, chemicals, plastics and rubber, and engineering products. Georgia has a well-developed animal husbandry (primarily pig breeding) and poultry farming. Peach State farms grow tobacco, cotton, corn, peanuts, pecans, soybeans, various vegetables and, of course, peaches.
