• GEORGIA HAS A NEW FLAG:
  • On January 31, 2001 Governor Roy Barnes signed into law a bill to change the design of the state flag.

    On a blue field, the Georgia flag showcases the State Seal, surrounded by thirteen white stars. Below is a gold ribbon containing small images of the five flags: the thirteen star U.S. flag (1777-1795), Georgia's first flag (1879), Georgia's 1920-1956 flag, Georgia's 1956 flag and the 50 star U.S. flag. Above the small rows of flags is the phrase "Georgia's History," and "In God We Trust" beneath the ribbon of flags.
