Savannah is Georgia's oldest city, originally established and planned by Georgia's colonial founder and urban developer James Oglethorpe.
The city is home to one of the United States' largest urban historic districts, which roughly corresponds to the city's boundaries around the time of the American Civil War.
Cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, live oak and Spanish moss trees, and National Historic Landmarks abound, including the birthplace of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low, the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the oldest public museums in the American South, and the First African Baptist Church, one of the country's oldest African-American Baptist congregations. The city is noted as a major cultural center in the American South, home to arts organizations such as the Savannah Ballet Theatre, the Savannah Theatre, the Savannah Orchestra, and a number of annual cultural festivals.
