Well the Creek and Cherokee were firmly settled in current day Georgia before the arrival of Europeans.

Georgia the colony was established by James Oglethorpe as a place for debtors. Back in Ye Olden England you could serve jail time if you couldn't pay all your debts. So, Oglethorpe started up a colony where England could ship it's debtors; that freed up space in mainland prisons for more hardened criminals.
