After obtaining a royal charter, Gen. James Oglethorpe established the first permanent settlement in Georgia in 1733 as a refuge for English debtors. In 1732, English King George II granted Gen. James Oglethorpe a charter for the 13th colony in America. Colonists arrived in Georgia and founded Savannah on Feb. 12, 1733 as a refuge for English debtors.
