Like other state and (some) historic flags, the official Georgia state flag has received modifications over the years and decades, ever since it was first displayed from flag poles. The current state banner shows three horizontal stripes that are colored red (2) and white (1). In the upper left section of the flag, a blue square is displayed with the coat of arms of this fascinating state in the center.
Georgia is one of the fifty states in the United States of America. Established back in 1732, this state was the last of the original 13 colonies and was named after King George 2 of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Located in the southeastern area of the U.S., it was the 4th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, back in 1788. Interestingly, it was the very last state that was restored to the Union, which occurred during the summer season of 1870.
