The City of Savannah
Savannah, located in east, was founded by James Oglethorpe. Georgia served as a buffer between Spanish Florida and the English Carolinas and also as a place for those in debt to start anew. Georgia's main cash crop was rice and after Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1793, cotton became the main cash crop. Savannah did not see too much fighting during the Civil War because in 1862, at the start of the war, the Union forced the surrender of Fort Pulaski on Tybee Island which effectively closed the city. Today, Savannah is filled with beautiful, Victorian homes and, thanks to The Historic Savannah Foundation, everyone can enjoy these homes and the rest of the historic town of Savannah.
