Savannah Georgia
Return to Georgia
| Savannah, Georgia is
located on the eastern side of Georgia in the
county of Chatham and is a decent sized city
with about 128,000 people. Savannah is
known as the "Hostess City" because of
its warm, southern hospitality and easy going
style.

The city of Savannah experiences a warm
climate, with temperatures for the winter and
summer months nearing 38 degrees Fahrenheit and
92 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively.
This gracious spot used to be the colonial
capital of the state of Georgia, but that has
since moved to Atlanta. Savannah’s
city structure and layout were meticulously
planned by the founders of the colony to provide
different wards that center around a town
square. The town was also an
important player in the Civil War; after Atlanta
had been captured, General Sherman offered the
city of Savannah as a Christmas present to
President Abraham Lincoln.

Savannah also
knows how to have a good time and holds the
second largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the
nation every year. The city also provides many
cultural and artistic events, and many a Sunday
afternoon can be spent outdoors exploring the
historical buildings in the downtown squares and
checking out the city’s
parks.
