The State Flag of Georgia (The Peach State)

Georgia entered the Union on Jan. 2, 1788, as the fourth state. During the American Civil War it was a member of the Confederate States of America. Once principally a farming state, known for its considerable cotton output, Georgia in the early 1990s had an economy centered on manufacturing and service industries. Atlanta, the state capital, serves as a major economic center for the South. Georgia is named for George II of England.

Georgia must have the record for the most state flags between 1879 and today. They are currently on their 7th flag! For most of the last half century the flag had the rebel cross on it. That symbol is offensive to some because of its connection with racial hatred (which of course is NOT was the Civil War was about - It was about MONEY and control.) So the current flag, adopted in 2003, is very similar to the original Confederate flag with only the addition of the Seal to change it. HUM... Some things die hard in the South.

Our version of this flag is made of light-weight polyester for durability and is 3' by 5'.
