In 1773 by James Oglethrope. Do't know if I am hundred percent right.

ANSWER:

In 1773

Georgia was founded by English General James Edward Oglethorpe in 1733, not 1773. But he didn't discover it. Hernando De Soto and a band of conquistadors walked all over present-day Georgia in 1540, and even before that a number of Spanish expeditions explored parts of the coastline. In 1525, Spanish pilot Pedro de Quejos made the first documented reference to present-day Georgia.

But in actuality Georgia was already inhabited by Native Americans, so it cannot be 'discovered' if people were already living there.
