What year did Georgia become a colony?

Georgia was officially established as a colony in 1732 when it was chartered by James Oglethorpe and a group of trustees. This year is significant because it marks the beginning of Georgia's history as a British colony, created with the intention of serving as a buffer between South Carolina and Spanish Florida, as well as a place for indebted individuals and the poor to have a fresh start. Although settlers began arriving in 1733, the formal establishment of the colony occurred in the year 1732, making it the correct answer. This is when the charter was granted, allowing for the colonization process to begin and leading to the foundation of Savannah, the first city in the colony.
