The British Parliament
Georgia had a diverse collection of European settlers in the original Georgia colony. Initially, people from the other American colonies were barred from living in Georgia. Settlers were either charity settlers, who had been financed by the colony's trustees or adventures who paid their own way and received the best land grants. Initially, the colony was to focus on the growth of silk fiber. Settlers were required to plant a set number of Mulberry trees. Slavery was also prohibited. But after the silk industry floundered and the slavery ban was found to be restrictive to development, those restrictions disappeared.
James Oglethorpe had the idea of bringing over debtors, people who where in prison for owing money, to settle in Georgia colony.

The new settlers arrived in Georgia on February 12, 1733. This marked the establishment of the colony, which was founded by James Oglethorpe and a group of trustees. The first settlement, Savannah, was established shortly thereafter, becoming the first city in the colony.
Established in 1733, Savannah was the city the first settlers of Georgia built. The city is located in Chatham County.
