U.S. state constituent political entity of the United States

In the United States, a state is a constituent political entity, of which there are currently 50. Bound together in a political union, each state holds governmental jurisdiction over a separate and defined geographic territory and shares its sovereignty with the federal government. Due to this shared sovereignty, Americans are citizens both of the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. State citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between states, except for persons restricted by certain types of court orders. Four states use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names.

Georgia (U.S. state) State of the United States of America

Georgia is a state in the Southeastern United States. It began as a British colony in 1733, the last and southernmost of the original Thirteen Colonies to be established. Named after King George II of Great Britain, the Province of Georgia covered the area from South Carolina south to Spanish Florida and west to French Louisiana at the Mississippi River. Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788. In 1802–1804, western Georgia was split to the Mississippi Territory, which later split to form Alabama with part of former West Florida in 1819. Georgia declared its secession from the Union on January 19, 1861, and was one of the original seven Confederate states. It was the last state to be restored to the Union, on July 15, 1870. Georgia is the 24th largest and the 8th most populous of the 50 United States. From 2007 to 2008, 14 of Georgia's counties ranked among the nation's 100 fastest-growing, second only to Texas. Georgia is known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South. Atlanta, the state's capital and most populous city, has been named a global city. Atlanta's metropolitan area contains about 55% of the population of the entire state.

SR 356 used to travel farther to the southwest, since it contained what is the entire standalone section of SR 75 Alternate. The roadway was built in the early 1960s, with its original segment being designated as SR 356 by the middle of the decade. During the early to mid 1970s, the current segment was designated as part of the route. During the early part of the next decade, the original segment was redesignated as part of SR 75 Alternate.

Route description

SR 356 begins at an intersection with SR 17/SR 75 (Unicoi Turnpike) in Robertstown just northwest of Helen in White County. The route travels to the northeast and enters the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Then, it passes through part of Unicoi State Park. Inside the park, it passes just south of Unicoi Lake. The highway has a long, gradual curve to the northeast, and passes to the north of Innsbruck Resort & Golf Club. After traveling through the unincorporated community of Sautee Nacoochee, it enters Habersham County. Almost immediately, it begins a curve to the southeast. Then, it passes over the Left and Right forks of the Soque River before meeting its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 197 northeast of Batesville.
