Depends on which Georgia you mean. The state of Georgia in the USA was originally a British province - in 1732 James Oglethorpe was a trustee of the province, acting unofficially as its governor. He laid out the plans for the town of Savannah. He could be described as "founder" in that sense.
Georgia, a country in the Caucasus mountains, has a history going back 5,000 years and its origins are lost in prehistory.

James Edward Oglethorpe (December 22 1696 – June 30, 1785) was a British general, a philanthropist, and was the founder of the colony of Georgia. He was born in London, the son of Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe (1650-1702) of Westbrook Place, Godalming in the county of Surrey. A social reformer in England, he hoped to resettle England’s poor, especially those in debtor’s prison, in the New World.
I hope it helps!
