Like several other Southern states, Georgia has experienced
significant growth since the 1960s. But both economic and population
growth has been unevenly distributed and largely concentrated in
Atlanta, which, as the financial, educational and traffic hub and
with almost half of the state's population within its metropolitan
area, has been virtually embraced by modern Georgia. The
contradiction is found in the depopulated and receding lands.
Immigration from rural areas, especially blacks, has been in line
with the mechanization of agriculture, but is also due to the fact
that much farmland after World War II has been replaced by pine
forest and commercial forestry. Where most of the area in the
1800-h. made up of cotton and tobacco plantations, forests now cover
65% of the acreage, and Georgia has overtaken Oregon as the United
States leading wood producer. Hugsten forms the basis for a
substantial paper and sawmill industry, as well as the most
important agricultural commodities, cotton, peanuts, chickens, etc.,
predominantly processed locally in numerous textile and food
companies. Other commodity industries such as the cement and ceramic
industries are based on the breaking of e.g. granite and kaolin in
the northern mountain areas. The aviation and automotive,
electronics, and other research-heavy industries are found almost
all in and around Atlanta, which, apart from the University of
Georgia in the city of Athens, also houses the major colleges,
including the renowned Georgia Institute of Technology.

The climate is warm and humid with an annual rainfall of
1100-1300 mm and average temperatures of 26-28 ° C in August and
4-10 ° C in January. Highest precipitation and lowest temperatures
have the northern mountain ranges at the southern tip of
the Appalachians (highest point 1458 m). The mountains are popular
excursion destinations. hunting and fishing, and here the two major
boundaries flow to South Carolina and Alabama,
respectively. Savannah and Chattahoochee River. To the south, the
mountains and rivers continue in a small, hilly landscape,
approx. The 150 m high fall line marks the transition to a uniform
low-lying coastal plain that occupies half of the state's area. The
coastal plain is regularly hit by tropical hurricanes and on the
Florida border is the swampy Okefenokee Swamp, known for its many
alligators and now made into a nature reserve. Southern Georgia has
a clear dominance of blacks, which, in particular, and especially on
several of the many small islands along the Atlantic coast, have
retained a distinctive geechee culture with strong roots to
West Africa.
History
Georgia is one of the 13 original states of the United States
that was last colonized by Europeans. In the 1600s. a number of
Spanish mission stations were built along the coast, but an actual
colonization was only started after the founding of Savannah in
1733; The area probably got its name from the then British
King, George 2. After the break with Britain and the Declaration of
Independence in 1776, slave-based cotton and tobacco plantations
began to spread into the country, displacing the native inhabitants,
Creek and Cherokee Indians, to the west. During the American Civil
War 1861-65, the Northern States General led William Shermans
campaigned through Georgia for rampant destruction in a wide belt
from Atlanta to Savannah; it is known not least from Margaret
Mitchell's novel Away with the Wind and the filmization of
it, in which an idealized Georgia is portrayed as the epitome of
Southern state culture.
