Georgia ( /ˈdʒ�rdʒ�/ ( help · info )) is a state in the United States and was one of the original Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution . It was the last of the Thirteen Colonies to be established, in 1733. It was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution , on January 2, 1788. It declared its secession from the Union on January 21, 1861 and was one of the original seven Confederate states . It was the last state to be restored to the Union, on July 15, 1870. Georgia is the ninth-largest state in the nation by population, with an estimated 9,685,744 residents as of July 1, 2008. [3 ] From 2007 to 2008, Georgia had 14 counties among the nation's 100 fastest-growing counties, second only to Texas .[ 4] Georgia is also known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South. Atlanta is the capital, and the most populous city. Georgia is bordered on the south by Florida ; on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and South Carolina ; on the west by Alabama and by Florida in the extreme southwest; and on the north by Tennessee and North Carolina . The northern part of the state is in the Blue Ridge Mountains , a mountain range in the vast mountain system of the Appalachians . The central piedmont extends from the foothills to the fall line , w the rivers cascade down in elevation to the continental coastal plain of the southern part of the state. The highest point in Georgia is Brasstown Bald , 4,784 feet (1,458 m); the lowest point is sea level . With an area of 59,424 square miles (153,909 km²), Georgia is ranked 24th in size among the 50 U.S. states. Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi River in terms of land area, although it is the fourth largest (after Michigan , Florida, and Wisconsin ) in total area, a term which includes expanses of water claimed as state territory. [5 ]Boundaries Beginning from the Atlantic Ocean, the state's eastern border with South Carolina runs up the Savannah River , northwest to its origin at the confluence of the Tugaloo and Seneca rivers. It then continues up the Tugaloo (originally Tugalo) and into the Michael River, its most significant tributary . These bounds were decided in the 1787 Treaty of Mexico, and tested in the U.S. Supreme Court in the two Georgia v. South Carolina cases in 1922 and 1989. The border then takes a sharp turn around the tip of Rabun County , at latitude 35°N , though from this point it diverges slightly south (due to inaccuracies in the original survey). This originally was the Georgia and North Carolina border all the way back to the Mississippi River, until Tennessee was divided from North Carolina, and Alabama and Mississippi (the Yazoo Lands ) were taken from Georgia. The state's western border then departs in another straight line south-southeastward, at a point southwest of Chattanooga , to meet the westernmost point of the Chattahoochee River near West Point, Georgia . It continues down to the point w it ends at the Flint River (the confluence of the two forming Florida's Apalachicola River ), and goes almost due east and very slightly south, in a straight line to the origin of the Saint Mary's River , which then forms the remainder of the boundary back to the ocean. It should be noted that the water boundaries are still set to be the original thalweg of the rivers. Since then, several have been inundated by man made lakes, including the Apalachicola/Chattahoochee/Flint point now under Lake Seminole . Georgia state legislators had claimed that the state's border with Tennessee had been erroneously placed one mile (1.6 km) further south th... read more
