Georgia was established on 1732.

James Oglethorpe founded Georgia with a royal charter from George II as a place where farmers/yeomen could farm and making a living. It was also established for a place where British who were in debtors prison or just poor could go so they would not overpopulate in Britain.

Georgia was also founded as a buffer state between S. Carolina (under British control) and the Spanish Florida. At some point, Georgia was invaded by the Spanish, but the Spanish were defeated and prevented from advancing any further into the colonies.
