Georgia Custom License Plates and Frames

Georgia is a state located
in the southeastern United States. It was established in 1732, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies. The
state is named after King George II of Great Britain. Georgia 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 24th most
extensive and the 9th most populous of the 50 United States. From 2007 to 2008, 14 of Georgia's counties ranked
among the nation's 100 fastest-growing, second only to Texas. Georgia is 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 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 Appalachian Mountains system. The central piedmont extends from the foothills to the fall line,
where 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 the Atlantic
Ocean.
Georgia is the most
extensive state east of the Mississippi River in terms of land area, although it is the fourth most extensive
(after Michigan, Florida, and Wisconsin) in total area, a term which includes expanses of water which are part
of state territory.
