Answer: It was the first American university created by a state government.

The University of Georgia received its charter from the state in 1785, making it the first state-chartered public university in the United States. The university brands itself as the "birthplace of the American system of higher education." A site was selected for the university, but it did not begin admitting students until 1801, six years after the University of North Carolina.
