Savannah, Georgia, nicknamed the Hostess City, was first settled in 1733 by General James Oglethorpe, making it one of the oldest cities in the country. It was one of the first planned cities, set up on grids with squares in between. Historic preservation saved many of the iconic buildings that the city is known for today. Savannah also has thrived from connections with literature and film, namely “Forrest Gump” and “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” referred to locally as “The Book.”
