About Me

General James Edward Oglethorpe and the 120 travelers of the good ship "Anne" landed on a bluff high along the Savannah River in February 1733; Oglethorpe named the thirteenth and final American colony, Georgia, after England's King George II. Savannah became its first city. Today thousands of visitors come to Savannah each year. The biggest annual draw for the city comes from the St. Patrick's Day(s) festivities.
