“10 Fun Facts About Savannah, GA” by Casey Keen
1. Savannah was founded in 1733 by General James Edward Oglethorpe, who came here from England.
2. Oglethorpe was responsible for the grid layout of Savannah and it was coined as America’s first “planned” city!
3. Scenes from Forest Gump were filmed in many of Savannah’s magnificent squares. Most notably, was the scene where Forest uttered one of the most famous movie lines to date, “Life is like a box of chocolates…” He just happened to be sitting on a bench in Chippewa Square (which, by the way, is beautiful)!
4. Juliette Gordon founded the Girl Scouts in Savannah, and the very first Girl Scouts meeting was held here!
5. Beauty really does save lives! During the Civil War, General Sherman marched right through Savannah. He was so amazed by this city’s beauty, that he offered it to President Lincoln as a Christmas present (best present ever)! This is one of the main reasons Savannah wasn’t destroyed during the war.
6. The ‘Bird Girl’ statue was featured in the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. This book’s plot was based on events that occurred in Savannah in the 1980s. Since then, the famous statue was moved from Bonaventure Cemetery to the Telfair Museum of Art.
7. Ahoy! The Pirates’ House was a meeting point for numerous pirates and sailors from the Seven Seas. Here, they would drink and discuss business as it pertained to their travels. It’s now a restaurant.
8. Savannah’s Historic District was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1966! It’s also one of the largest in the US.
9. Savannah is the oldest city in the state of Georgia!
10. Savannah is referred to as ‘The Southern Belle of the Georgia Coast.’
Savannah is a timeless and elegant city. Although I return every year, I recommend that everyone should visit at least once in their lives!

I actually knew most of the facts, but then I’m from South Georgia and had to take Georgia history in school, so. I have also visited the city and highly recommend it to people. It is beautiful.
I’m not familiar with this author, but these look really good. I think I’m going to have to expand my TBR list. Thanks!
I spent a lot of summers in Georgia and have great memories of visiting Savannah, it’s a beautiful city with so much history. Glad I could add a couple of books to your TBR Melanie…LOL
What an interesting city! Those are some really great facts. I’ve been to Georgia several times, but have never seen Savannah. This series sounds like something I’d enjoy. Thanks for the great guest post!
If you ever have the chance you have to visit Savannah Cat, it’s beautiful! Thanks for stopping by 🙂

I LOOOOVVEEE Sav, GA! I can live there, seriously!
This series seem pretty awesome, Lori! And I think it’s really interesting that Savannah is the oldest city in GA, it appears in many historicals I have read, but I hadn’t thought about the actual fact that it was the first city in the state.
I hope you’ll have a great week. Happy reading 🙂
I like fact #5. I enjoy history and this is an interesting fact I didn’t already know 🙂
Always wanted to go to the Juliette Gordon Lowe / Girl Scout museum. Just had a friend send me back pictures from her trip there and I loved the old (original) uniforms with badges sewn all down the long sleeves.
