If you're referring to the state of Georgia (in the U.S.): When James Ogelthorpe founded the state of Georgia, he had intended it to be a place where criminals and debtors could start their life afresh. He intended to import silk worms and Mulberry trees so that they could flourish on a silk industry, much like the Chinese were at the time. However, the silk worms did not eat the Mulberry leaves, and the colony failed as a silk industry.
Silkworms eat mulberry leaves. The white mulberry tree, native to China, is the preferred food source.

Silk is not made out of silk worms. Silk is made by silk worms which spin to make a cocoon for themselves.
Silkworms originate from China and live in Mulberry Bushes
