Georgia. Governor (1827-1829 : Forsyth)
The Treaty of Indian Springs (1825) with the Creek Indians opened up a large area of western Georgia for settlement.
From this acquisition five new counties were formed. A lottery system was used to freely distribute the land to Georgians by lot, generally 202 and a half acres each.
