45.3 square miles (pop. 4,375), compared with the US State of Georgia, 59,425 square miles (pop. 9,544,750) and the former Soviet republic, 26,916 square miles (pop. 4,630,841).

The state was named in 1724 for the English King George II when it was an English colony, this town for his son, George III, in 1763. The origin of the country's modern name is disputed: 1) from the Greek word georgos meaning "tiller of the land;" 2) in honor of St. George (which name itself is derived from the same Greek word); or 3) from the name for the people of this area under various Persian empires, Gurjhan. The natives call it Sakartvelo.

The population of this still largely agricultural town has actually grown considerably over the past several years, as more and more people came to the conclusion that it is attractive as a bedroom community to Burlington, Vermont's largest city, less than 20 miles to the south (via I-87, no less).
