别名「桃州」 (Peach
State) 的乔治亚建于1733年，它是最初的13州之一。为纪念英王乔治二世 (England's
King George II) ，遂以其名号为该州命名。内战 (Civil
War) 时，亚特兰大 (Atlanta) 一役是南方各州战败的转捩点。时至今日，于1868年成为乔治亚首府的亚特兰大是一座兴盛的城市，有重要的国家企业，亦可视为美国东南部的经济和文化中心。乔治亚的州花是奇罗基玫瑰。
Known today as the "Peach State," Georgia, founded in 1733, is one of the original 13 states. It was named in honor of England's King George II. During the Civil War, the fall of Atlanta was a crucial turning point in the defeat of the South. Today, Atlanta, which became Georgia's capital in 1868, is a thriving city with major national corporations, and it is considered the economic and cultural center of the Southeast. The state flower is the Cherokee rose.
