One of my favorite websites out there would have to be the New Georgia Encyclopedia. An veritable treasure trove of information, they do such a great job with content and featured articles. One feature of their page is doing a cumilative history of each month. Going back to 1733, quite a bit has happened of importance during the month of February. Here are some highlights:
- 1733: James Oglelthorpe founded the Georgia colony
- 1777: Georgia's first constitution and her first eight counties are created
- 1825: The Creek Indians sign the Treaty of Indian Springs
- 1883: The Atlanta Journal is launched
- 1964: The Milwaukee Braves officially become the Atlanta Braves
