Colonial Georgia was governed by the trustees who founded the colony, until 1752, when it became a royal colony.
Georgia became a royal colony in 1752
Virginia was a royal colony for 45 years before Georgia became a royal colony. Virginia became a royal colony in 1707 and Georgia became one in 1752.
The Georgia colony was initially governed by a group of trustees. There was widespread dissatisfaction from the colonists, and James Oglethorpe, who had originally petitioned for the colony, lost his enthusiasm, and no longer came to the colony. The colony ended its trusteeship government, and went into that of a royal colony in 1752.
When Georgia became a royal colony, the first royal governor was John Reynolds, who answered to the British government. He proved to be ineffective as governor and was replaced by Henry Ellis.
In 1752, Georgia transitioned from a proprietary colony to a royal colony. This change came after the trustees, who had governed Georgia since its founding in 1732, decided to relinquish control due to various pressures and challenges, including conflicts with the colonists over land and trade. As a royal colony, Georgia was directly governed by the British Crown, which allowed for greater oversight and control over its development and governance.

Georgia transitioned from a trustee-led colony to a royal colony in 1752 due to various challenges, including economic difficulties and conflicts with Native Americans. The trustees, who initially governed the colony under James Oglethorpe, faced pressure to relax restrictions on land ownership and slavery, which they resisted. As the colony struggled to thrive, the British government decided to take control, establishing Georgia as a royal colony governed by a series of appointed royal governors. This change aimed to stabilize the colony and promote economic growth through the introduction of rice and indigo cultivation.
