However, the difficulties and with the departure of Oglethorpe, Georgia became part in 1755 of the British colony.

From 1732 to 1758 there were changes in several districts and localities. That same year Georgia was divided into eight parishes. In 1765 four more were added and in 1777 the eight counties of the newly formed State of Georgia were formed.
