Georgia Day, on February 12 every year, is a day specially set aside for the recognition of the colonial founding of the state by James Oglethorpe. Though it is not a public holiday, it was created by Georgiaโs General Assembly. This gave the reason for the February 12 date as being โthe anniversary of the landing of the first colonists in Georgia under Oglethorpe.โ Georgia Day is usually observed in public schools within the state of Georgia. The law establishing Georgia Day was never repealed, but it was excluded in the code upon its official compilation in 1981. The official legal status of the Georgia Day holiday is unclear. It is, however, still observed on or around February 12 at the Georgia Day Parade. A two-week celebration of the history of Georgia. Send your partner a Georgia postcard!
