Yes, Georgia was settled by Quakers, among other groups, but they were not the primary settlers. The colony was founded in 1732 by James Oglethorpe, who aimed to create a refuge for debtors and the impoverished. While Quakers sought religious freedom and were involved in the early development of the colony, the settlement also attracted various other settlers, including those fleeing religious persecution and seeking economic opportunities.
