With more than 300 years of history, Savannah Georgia is steeped in glorious tradition and antiquated charm that’s hard to find in today’s modern electronic world. In fact, Savannah boasts one of the largest National Landmark Historic Districts in the United States. Reaching from River Street to Forsyth Park, the 2.5-mile stretch is dusted with quaint shops, charming boutiques and incredible restaurants. Live oak trees draped in Spanish moss line both sides of the street, creating a faux ceiling of branches that snuggles this historic region in the arms of the past. The center of the Historic District was originally conceived of by General James Edward Oglethorpe in 1733 when he founded the city of Savannah. His vision of the city included squares separated at regular intervals. His organized grid earned Savannah the moniker of “America’s First Planned City”. The remaining 22 cobblestoned blocks harken of times past as examples of Georgian, Greek Revival, and Gothic architecture all give their own flavor to the region. Georgia’s famed southern charm and old-fashioned hospitality embrace you with warmth in the Historic District of Savannah Georgia. It’s no wonder that the region is one of the country’s most popular vacation sites and one of the fastest growing cities in the state.
