In the last ten years, over 50 million people have visited Savannah, because of its beautiful architecture, green spaces, history, and hospitality. It also began to become a vibrant center for art and culture, and it remains so to this day. Following Reconstruction and the turn of the century, Savannah became an important part of both the cotton and lumber industries. Savannah has grown steadily since that time, playing an important role in both the American Revolution and in the Civil War. Oglethorpe ultimately founded the state of Georgia after England’s King George II and made Savannah its first city. In 1733, General James Oglethorpe and 120 passengers of the ship “Anne” landed on a bluff along the Savannah River. It’s also a city with a thriving, welcoming LGBTQ community, where all can feel at home. It's also known for its rich arts and culture scene, large beautiful tree-lined streets, historic homes, and museums and other historical landmarks dating back hundreds of years.
Situated about 15 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean along the Savannah River, Savannah is a beautiful Southern town with a unique coastal vibe. Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia, and one with a long and rich history.
