South Georgia was one of the Falkland Island Dependencies that had a set of its own overprints in 1944 then used the general issue. In 1963, three of the other dependencies became British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia then began its own issues. In October 1986, South Georgia joined with the South Sandwich Isles and became independent of the Falklands. Both Scott and Gibbons continue numbering from South Georgia.
