Located in the southeastern United States, Georgia is one of the 50 American states. It is located in south of Tennessee and North Carolina, north of Florida, east of Alabama, and west of South Carolina and the Atlantic Ocean. Georgia is known for its forests, which cover most of its territory. Pines, magnolias and peach trees are its most common trees, a fact that makes the State known as “The Peach State”.
After being the subject of dispute between Spain and the United Kingdom, the region of Georgia passed to the British domain, in the colony called “Carolina”, which also included the states of North Carolina and South Carolina. From 1750, Georgia began to have a notable prominence in agriculture, until it became the fourth American state on January 2, 1788, after the American Revolution in 1776. Agriculture was the main source of income for the state until the beginning of the 20th century, when its economy passed to diversify.
