The First Continental Congress was a convention of delegates from twelve colonies (Georgia was not present) that met on September 5 1774 at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia Pennsylvania early in the American Revolution. It was called in response to the passage of the Coercive Acts (also known as Intolerable Acts by the Colonial Americans) by the British Parliament.
