Georgia was founded in 1732 as the Province of Georgia and became a royal colony in 1752. Georgia was the last and southernmost of the original Thirteen Colonies to be established. Named after King George II of Great Britain, the Colony of Georgia covered the area from South Carolina south to Spanish Florida and west to French Louisiana at the Mississippi River. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 population was 10,711,908. Wikipedia 

Georgia is one of the most progressive and healthily diversified states in the U.S. It has come from deep southern roots of division to yield Black buying power, estimated at $118 billion in 2020, according to the 2021 Multicultural Economy report released by the University of Georgia’s Selig Center for Economic Growth. That figure trailed only Texas ($149 billion) and New York ($141 billion), and was tied with California. It grew from $67 billion in 2010. But it was only part of a greater story about diversity in spending amid major demographic shifts, even as wealth and income disparities persist. In Georgia, over the last 10 years, Black buying power increased 78%. That was the 19th-biggest increase among states, compared with 61% nationally. Asian buying power here saw the 10th-fastest growth rate among states at 138%, compared with 111% nationally. Hispanic buying power in Georgia grew 83%, 28th in the nation. White Georgians’ buying power over the past decade saw a slower 52% increase, compared with 50% nationally, as white population growth stalled. White buying power in the state was $338 billion in 2020. “That reflects a number of things,” said Jeff Humphreys, director of UGA’s Selig Center and author of the report. “The Georgia economy is doing well and that raises the buying power of every group. All the groups in Georgia have done well.”
