Today in Georgia History:
December 17, 1902 Georgia first state flag (adopted in 1879) was changed to provide that the "coat of arms of the State" be shown on the vertical blue band. Whether an accurate 1902 state flag was ever created is not known, but at an early date -- not later than 1905 -- Georgia's new state flag was being shown with the coat of arms on a white-and-gold shield. And, without statutory authorization, by the 1920s the coat of arms and shield had been replaced with a state seal--which is what commonly is referred to as the pre-1956 state flag.

Today in Georgia History:
December 16, 1853 Gov. Herschel Johnson signed an act creating Kinchafoonee County as Georgia's 104th county. Created from portions of Stewart County, Kinchafoonee County was named for the main creek that ran through the area. Criticism of the name, however, led local residents to seek to have the county's name changed. On Feb. 21, 1856, Gov. Johnson signed an act redesignating the county as Webster County. The new name honored former U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster, who as a U.S. senator had helped bring about the Compromise of 1850.
