Located in the south-eastern United States, Georgia was established in 1732. This state is flanked on the south by Florida, on the west by Alabama, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and South Carolina, and on the north by Tennessee and North Carolina. The northern part of Georgia is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, which is a part of the Appalachian Mountains System. By taking cheap flights to Georgia, tourists can explore everything from the world's largest aquarium and the beaches to antebellum homes and historic sites that reflect life and events from prehistory to the late 20th-century struggle for civil rights.
