History
Savannah is Georgia's oldest city, founded by British general James Oglethorpe between the Savannah River and the eastern shore on February 12, 1733 when Georgia itself was founded.Savannah was the first colony in Georgia, and the region's mild climate offered perfect conditions for growing cotton and peach trees. The number of peach trees led to the state's nickname: today Georgia is called "the Peach State".
The production of cotton helped the city to achieve wealth and prosperity. The port of Savannah was one of the most frequented in the United States and Savannah's inhabitants had the opportunity to consume the world's finest goods, imported by foreign merchants. Savannah grew to be one of the richest cities in the United States. Cotton was exported to places all over the world. Wonderful mansions were built in the downtown area and British botanists were invited to refine the city's unique look with grapes for wine and mulberry trees for silk, from the old continent. The Georgia climate made it impossible for these plants to grow.
In 1740 George Whitefield founded the Bethesda orphanage, which is now the oldest extant orphanage in the U.S.A.
In 1818 shipping and business stopped when the city fell under quarantine due to a yellow fever epidemic. Many ships never came back to Savannah, dealing a harsh blow to the local cotton industry.
Savannah's port has always been a mainstay of the city's economy. Most goods that were produced in the New World had to pass the city's port before they could be shipped to England.
In 1864, the city was captured by Northern troops and Savannah ran the risk of being burned down by the northerners like so many southern cities before but General Sherman thought that the city was too beautiful and so he gave it to Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas gift.
The downtown area again ran the risk of being demolished in the 1950s when the city ran short of money but seven Georgia women created the Savannah Foundation, which was able to preserve the city from destruction. This foundation continues to help revitalize historic Savannah. Downtown has been restored to its former beauty and now it entertains visitors from all over the world. The city's popularity as a tourist destination was increased by the novel and subsequent movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which were set in Savannah.
The city was the first American city to be planned on a system of squares—there are 24 in Savannah today. Many of these squares contain small parks, treasured by residents, and also serve to slow traffic by breaking up long stretches of straight road. It was also the site of the first lighthouse on the southern Atlantic coast. It is served by Savannah International Airport.
The city's position offers visitors access to the coastal islands, a popular tourist destination.
