Founded in 1733, the state of Georgia was one of the original 13 British colonies in the United States and was the southernmost state until Florida became a part of the country. Named after King George II, the state has been defined by its vast and diverse landscapes and flora and fauna and considering that the state is not the largest, that is pretty impressive. Georgia has a humid and hot coastal climate on the Atlantic, mountainous northern edge of the Appalachians and dense forest with tons of natural vistas and wildlife.
