Introduction
Georgia is the country's largest state, making it a natural choice for road trippers. And with the Peach State's location on the Atlantic Coast and its warm climate, Georgia is ideal for travelers who want to see both ocean views and mountains in one trip. Here are some of my favorite facts about Georgia:
Georgia is called the Peach State and the Empire State of the South.
Georgia is called the Peach State, and it's also known as the Empire State of the South. That's because Georgia is known for its peaches, peanuts and pecans.
Georgia has a lot of freshwater turtles! In fact, there are more than 20 different kinds of turtles that live in Georgia waterways.
Atlanta, Savannah and Augusta are some of the state's prominent cities.
Georgia is the most populous state in the southeastern United States, with a population of over 10 million people. Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah are some of Georgia's major cities. Other major cities include Columbus and Macon (north), Athens (east), Brunswick and Albany (southwest) and Hinesville (northwest).
Georgia is a major producer of peaches, peanuts and pecans.
The Peach State is a major producer of peaches, peanuts and pecans. The state's official state fruit is the peach; its official snack food is the peanut (you can find these in most gas stations in Georgia); and its official nut is the pecan.
The state is home to Fort Stewart and Fort Benning, two large U.S. Army bases.
If you're traveling to Georgia with your family, there are two large U.S. Army bases that might be of interest to you: Fort Stewart and Fort Benning. If you're into military history or just enjoy seeing how the armed forces operate, these bases offer plenty to see and do.
Both bases are located in southeast Georgia, within 100 miles of Atlanta. While they're quite different from one another, here are some things they have in common:
Both have populations of about 15,000–20,000 people (Fort Stewart has a population of about 45,000).
Both were established during World War II and have hosted several units since then.
A significant portion (more than 50%) of each base is devoted to training new soldiers in basic skills like shooting weapons safely or using heavy equipment effectively.
The first state-authorized lottery in the United States was established in Georgia in 1993.
The first state-authorized lottery in the United States was established in Georgia in 1993. It has been a lucrative revenue source for the state, generating more than $2 billion annually for education.
Lotteries are forms of gambling that target people with low incomes and are therefore considered regressive taxes on those who can least afford them. Yet they continue to be authorized by states and governments because they're seen as an easy way to raise money without raising taxes or imposing new regulations on businesses—something politicians tend not to want to do if they can avoid it.
Georgia has the largest number of freshwater turtles than any other state in the USA.
Georgia is home to the largest number of freshwater turtles in the USA, with over 20 species. They are commonly found in rivers, lakes and ponds throughout the state. This abundance of turtles means that Georgia also has one of the largest annual turtle festivals in the country!
The festival features more than just a parade and fun games for kids—it's also an opportunity for adults to learn about these beautiful creatures. Georgia turtles are associated with strength and longevity which makes them popular for tattoos as well as for their role in mythology.
There are lots of interesting facts about this state!
