 Named after King George II of Great Britain, the Province of Georgia covered the area from South Carolina down to Spanish Florida and New France along "Louisiana (New France)", also bordering to the west towards the Mississippi River.
 Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788.

 Georgia declared its secession from the Union on January 19, 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 largest and the 8th 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.

The first brief European contact with Newfoundland and Labrador came about 1000 AD when the Vikings briefly settled in L'Anse aux Meadows.
 Around 1500 AD, European explorers and fishermen from England, Portugal, France, and Spain (mainly Basques) began exploration.
 Fishing expeditions came seasonally; the first small permanent settlements appeared around 1630 AD.
 Catholic-Protestant religious tensions were high but mellowed after 1860.
 The British colony voted against joining Canada in 1869 and became an independent dominion in the early 20th century.
 Fishing was always the dominant industry, but the economy collapsed in the Great Depression of the 1930s and the people voluntarily relinquished their independence to become a British colony again.
 Prosperity and self-confidence returned during the Second World War, and after intense debate the people voted to join Canada in 1949. Susan Cooper

 It was originally planned by General James Oglethorpe prior to the founding of the Province of Georgia, the British colony that would become the U.S. state of Georgia.
 One reason for the founding of the colony was to act as a buffer between the Spanish settlements in Florida and the British colonies to the north.
