Savannah GSE overview

Location
Savannah is located on the coast of Georgia North of Florida in the Southeastern United States. Our city was developed 23 km up the Savannah River from the Atlantic Ocean at the first high ground.

History
Savannah was the first city in Georgia and the capital of the 13th colony founded in 1733 by James Edward Oglethorpe, an English general. He laid out the city in a plan of squares, public parks and green spaces. Much of this planning has been preserved today with 21 of the original squares surviving or restored. The city is known for its natural beauty, architecture and cultural diversity.

Today's Savannah is home to the 4th busiest container seaport in the United States. It is also the location of Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart. Major industries include Gulfstream, manufacturers of custom executive jets, International Paper and Memorial Health Center, a teaching hospital compound that employs thousands. Savannah is also home to the Savannah College of Art and Design, which was recently recognized as the best art college in the United States. Other colleges include Armstrong Atlantic State University and Savannah State University, both of which are public universities in the University system of Georgia. The city also thrives from a robust tourism industry.

Because of the wide variety of American history, lifestyles and scenery it encompasses, Savannah is often used as a setting for motion pictures and books. Listed here are some movies that were filmed in Savannah.

Savannah is located on the state of Georgia's coast line. Buffered by barrier islands and marsh lands, the Georgia coast is one of the most beautiful areas of the United States. Because we consider our coast line and barrier islands rare natural resources, development on the coast is very limited. Many of the barrier islands remain as state and federally protected nature reserves.
