History of Savannah

The City of Squares RoadyGoat

Savannah was drawn on graph paper before it was a city. When General James Oglethorpe laid out the colony in 1733, he platted a grid of open public squares; twenty-two of them survive today, shaded by live oaks dripping Spanish moss. It is one of the largest historic districts in the country and you can walk it square to square. Chippewa Square is the famous one: the opening bench scene of 1994's 'Forrest Gump' was filmed on its north side — though the bench was a fiberglass movie prop, not a park fixture, and the real one now sits in the Savannah History Museum. The squares were never just decoration; Oglethorpe's plan grouped homes and civic blocks around each one, a walkable design centuries ahead of its time. Savannah is a place built to be strolled.
