Savannah Real Estate Information
Savannah, Georgia: Savannah is known for its rich
history and triving tourist industry. It is often referred to as the
Hostess City of the South. This friendly attitude is seen in its landmarks
like the The Waving Girl Statue. The Waving Girl Statue honors Florence
Margaret Martus. Martus was famous in the early 1900s for waving to
all shipping traffic sailing into and out of Savannah. Savannah offers
architectural splendor for its residents, natural beauty and old-fashioned
Southern charm. Spanish moss grows from hanging branches of trees in
Historic Savannah, Georgia and throughout the southeastern United States.
Founded by British General James Oglethorpe who landed on the historic
bluff above the Savannah River in 1733. In 1966, Savannah's Historic
District was designated a National Historic Landmark by the US Interior
Department. Today, Savannah is revitized with the popularity of the
book and film "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" which
brought renovation and restoration to the city. Today, the entire historic
district has been restored to its former glory. The Victorian District,
Thomas Square, the Martin Luther King, Jr. corridor and other area neighborhoods
continue to undergo substantial renovation.
