City and Destination Information
The following was taken from the website of the Savannah Visitors and Convention Bureau. For more great information about this wonderful Southern city, visit their website at http://www.savcvb.com.
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. Oglethorpe and 19 associates received a charter from the
King of England making them "Trustees for Establishing the Colony of
Georgia in America." The plan was to aid the working poor in England,
and to strengthen the colonies by increasing trade. The colony of Georgia
was also chartered to be a buffer zone for South Carolina protecting it from
the advance of the Spanish in Florida. Under the original charter,
individuals were free to worship as they pleased and rum, lawyers and
slavery were forbidden - for a time.
