 New Savannah, Georgia

The dead town of New Savannah began "circa" 1740 as a Chickasaw village on the Savannah River, at the mouth of Butler Creek below Augusta.Stories as to the circumstances vary, but in any case some portion of the Horse Creek Chickasaws under Squirrel King moved across the river and founded the town from which they farmed, hunted and scouted until the Revolutionary War.
