The Georgia trustees were a group of individuals appointed in the early 18th century to oversee the establishment and governance of the colony of Georgia. Founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe and others, the trustees aimed to create a refuge for the poor, particularly those in debtors' prisons, and to promote social reform. They governed the colony for 21 years, implementing policies such as prohibitions on slavery and land ownership limits, before relinquishing control to the British Crown in 1752.
