The Peach State
Georgia is best known as The Peach State. Georgia-grown peaches are recognized for their superior flavor, texture, appearance and nutritious qualities. Georgia also designated the peach as the official state fruit in 1995. Other nicknames for Georgia are The Goober State (goobers are an old word for peanuts), and The Empire State of the South.
