Chatham County, located in the southeastern part of the great state of Georgia, has a rich and fascinating history. Established on February 5, 1777, the county was named in honor of William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, who was a staunch supporter of the American cause during the Revolutionary War. The city of Savannah, the oldest city in Georgia and the county seat of Chatham County, was founded in 1733 by General James Edward Oglethorpe. The founding of Savannah marked the beginning of the British colony of Georgia.

During the American Revolutionary War, Savannah was captured by the British, and it became their southern headquarters. The city was recaptured by American forces in 1782, and after the war, it continued to grow, both economically and as a trade center. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Savannah experienced vast growth due to its harbor and the cotton trade.

Chatham County played a significant role in both the antebellum period and the Civil War. The coastal location of the county made it an important site for agriculture, particularly rice and cotton plantations. These plantations relied heavily on the labor of enslaved people, and the county was one of the largest slaveholding areas in Georgia. During the Civil War, Savannah and Chatham County were strategic locations for the Confederacy, but by December 1864, the area was captured by Union forces during General Sherman's famous "March to the Sea."

Today, Chatham County is known for its historical landmarks, beautiful architecture, and rich culture. The picturesque city of Savannah is a popular tourist destination and encompasses the majority of Chatham County's population.

Fun fact: Savannah is famous for its public squares, which were designed to offer green space and promote community interactions. The city of Savannah was originally planned with 24 public squares, of which 22 still exist today. These squares are a distinctive feature and contribute to the unique charm of the city.
