Georgia Geography

Georgia's geography is extremely diverse across the state. I will start where Georgia first started, on its' coast. Georgia's coast is almost 100 miles long and includes 13 barrier islands.

Located right off of the coast and on the Savannah River, Savannah Georgia was established in 1733 and is the oldest city in the state. It was the capitol of the state for a number of years. During the American Civil War, General Sherman spared the city from burning. Sherman presented Savannah as a "Christmas Gift" to President Lincoln.
