I live in the state of georgia, I have lived here for about 9 

years. I love it here, and have had so many memories 

here but I have never looked or researched the history of 

georgia or really anything about it. I didn't even know 

our state flag or what it looked like! But I was given a 

assignment for school (I am home schooled) to write a 

paper on the state I lived in I had to research it, and it 

was fun! It told me to write about the clement, some 

history about it like a big thing that happened in georgia, 

and when georgia was discovered. So I am going to share 

it with you!

Georgia is very hot in the summers and they 

are usually very long, they are also very humid 

and that is not pleasant. Our winters are short 

but cold, it snows 1% out of 100% of the time! 

(see page 9 or monthly rainfall)

Each state has many things that represent them, like a 

state flower, butterfly, colors, motto, tree, bird. (There 

are many more things but I will not say all of them.) I 

will tell you Georgia's. 

MOTTO: Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation

BIRD: the Brown Thresher

FLOWER: the Cherokee Rose  

TREE: the Live Oak 

I knew that Coca-cola started in a pharmacy, but I did not 

know it started in Georgia. When you think of Coke now a 

days you do not think it started in a local pharmacy in 

Atlanta! (Not today's Atlanta like the huge city. It once was a 

small place in Georgia.) Well it did! In 1888 the first Coca-

cola was sold in a little pharmacy in Georgia!

Some other interesting facts about Georgia are: In 1540 

Heronde Soto of Spain explored Georgia! I did not know it 

was that long ago!

January 2, 1788 was when Georgia was admitted to the 

Union. 

I did know that Atlanta is the biggest city in 

georgia! It is massive and there are such big 

buildings! If you were a tourist you would 

have lots of things to do, such as visit "The 

Georgia state Aquarium." It is the largest 

aquarium in the western hemisphere! You 

could also visit Warm Springs, there is some 

history behind it. I will tell you it.

In 1921 Franklin Roosevelt was diagnosed with polio. One 

of the few things that helped the pain was warm water. He 

first visited warm springs in October 1924. He was 

attracted to Warm Springs because of their 88 degree 

springs. His main house was described as "ramshackle." 

Warm Springs is famous for the Little White House, 

where Roosevelt lived while president. Because of his 

paralytic illness he died   in 1945 where    now is a public 

museum. Roosevelt first came in the 1920s in hopes that 

the warm water would improve his paraplegia, at the time 

thought to be the result of polio. He was a constant visitor 

for two decades, and renamed the town from Bullochville 

to Warm Springs.
