The largest of the U.S. states east of the Mississippi River and the youngest of the 13 former English colonies, Georgia was founded in 1732, at which time its boundaries were even larger-including much of the present-day states of Alabama and Mississippi.
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. In 1743, General Oglethorpe sailed for England never to return to Georgia.
The desire for land and later gold created a swift expansion beyond the old frontier, carrying with it increased trade along rivers and migration of people along new roads into the wilderness. The primary basis for this new growth and economic expansion was the production of cotton through a slave labor system.
The history of the flags that have flown over or were intended to fly over the State of Georgia is a long and twisted one with many unanswered questions. Many intended designs were never implemented. Many statutory designs were altered in practice either by design or misunderstanding.
On May eighth, 2003, the new Georgia banner was endorsed. The new plan shows two red stripes, one white stripe, and a blue field upper left. The state's official ensign is encompassed by 13 white stars, typical of Georgia being one of the first 13 provinces. On the seal itself, three columns support an arch, reflecting the administrative, legal and official branches of government. A standing man with a sword was drawn is protecting 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.
