Georgia is a town in Franklin County, Vermont, United States.

The western border of the town is within Lake Champlain and its St. Albans Bay.

Georgia was named after King George III by New Hampshire, which was meant to sway the king in a land dispute over Vermont between New York and New Hampshire, both of which claimed to have the rights to the land.

During the War of 1812, smuggling was common throughout Vermont, except for Georgia, where the citizens formed a blockade to support the embargo on Canadian goods.

The blockade was so functional that smugglers started to call Georgia "Hell's Gate".
