Savannah, Georgia – Discover a Beautiful, Historic Adventure!
When our country was young, James Edward Oglethorpe arrived in an untamed wilderness that would eventually become the state of Georgia. The year was 1733. Oglethorpe and his band of English settlers established a small Indian town and trading post that eventually blossomed into the colony’s first city — Savannah. By exporting large amounts of rice and cotton, the city prospered.
