Savannah was established in 1733 and was the birthplace of the Georgia colony, the seat of the colonial government, and capital of the state until 1786.
In 1868, Atlanta became the official capital of Georgia. Georgia has had five different state capitals. They were in order; Savannah, Augusta (between 1782 and 1785, Savannah and Augusta were rotating capitals), Louisville, Milledgeville and the current capital of Atlanta.
it is apparent that the congressmen of Georgia could not decide what capital they wanted in the early 1700s until the early 1800s. Savannah was the 1st capital of Georgia. The congressmen of Georgia felt like the city wasn's improving , so they decide to move the city in 1785 to Augusta. Not long after that, Atlanta became our capital for good!:)
The capital of Georgia during the antebellum period was Milledgeville. It served as the state's capital from 1804 to 1868, before it was later moved to Atlanta.
Georgia's first capital, way back in the late 1770s, was Savannah, and its second capital was Augusta.
Starting in 1751, Savannah was the capital of the Royal Colony of Georgia and became the first state capital after the American Revolution. Augusta became the official capital in 1785, mainly because it was more convenient to an ever growing, inward land seeking population.
