Today in Georgia History

On August 2, 1776, Georgia's delegates signed the Declaration of Independence, marking Georgia's entry into the United States. This act, carried out by individuals like Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, and George Walton, laid the groundwork for a nation shaped by diverse backgrounds and unified ideals. Their legacy lives on through naming counties and the enduring concept of self-governing free people. The signers, a mix of backgrounds and beliefs, contributed significantly to public service, with some becoming future presidents, vice presidents, and influential figures in American history. This pivotal moment in history symbolizes the ongoing journey of a self-governing people, as set in motion on August 2, 1776.

Interesting Fact: Georgia is the second state with the most counties (159), with Texas being number one (254).
