Georgia
is a state located in the southeastern United States. Georgia was
established in 1732, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies. Georgia
was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January
2, 1788. It declared its secession from the Union on January 21, 1861,
and was one of the original seven Confederate states. It was the last
state to be restored to the Union, on July 15, 1870. With an estimated
9,829,211 residents as of July 1, 2009, Georgia is the ninth most
populous state. From 2007 to 2008, 14 of Georgia's counties
ranked among the nation's 100 fastest-growing, second only to
Texas. Georgia is known as the Peach State and the Empire State of
the South. Atlanta is the capital and the most populous city.
Georgia
is bordered on the south by Florida; on the east by the Atlantic Ocean
and South Carolina; on the west by Alabama and by Florida in the south;
and on the north by Tennessee and North Carolina. The northern part of
the state is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a mountain range in the vast
Appalachian Mountains system. The central piedmont extends from the
foothills to the fall line, where the rivers cascade down in elevation to
the continental coastal plain of the southern part of the state. The
highest point in Georgia is Brasstown Bald, 4,784 feet (1,458 m); the
lowest point is sea level.
