| Additional Information | Milledgeville, Georgia, named for governor George Milledge, was established as the state capital on 12 December 1804. From this location, the state of Georgia voted to secede from the Union on 19 January 1861. Atlanta became the state capital on 20 April 1868 due to its location as a transportation hub during Reconstruction. The Federal Union was established in 1830 with John Polhill as its first editor. It was printed by Boughton, Nisbet & Barnes, who, as the official state printers, also published state laws, acts, bills, resolutions, and convention proceedings in book form, as well as minutes and senate journals. |
