The colony of Georgia was established in 1732 by James Oglethorpe primarily as a buffer against Spanish Florida and a haven for debtors from England. The Trustees aimed to create a self-sufficient colony with agricultural potential and actively governed it with a focus on social reform. The first settlers arrived in Savannah, reflecting Oglethorpe's vision for community and opportunity.
