In 1944 postage stamps were issued for each of the United Kingdom Dependencies these included South Georgia. Initially Falkland Island stamps were over printed with “Dependency of South Georgia”.
In 1946 a distinctive set of stamps was issued for use throughout the Falkland Islands Dependencies until 1963.
The Antarctic Treaty of 1962 resulted in a separation of the British Antarctic Territory from the UK Dependencies. South Georgia then received its first stamps.
In 1985 the Falkland Islands Dependencies ceased to exist and South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands came into existence as a UK overseas territory. Stamps with this designation have been issued since.
