Johnson Square

Highlight • Monument

Johnson Square it the oldest and largest square in Savannah. Some of the most magnificent buildings downtown, including City Hall, the Christ Episcopal Church and several banks surround Johnson square. The square was laid out in 1733 and named after Robert Johnson, the Royal Governor of South Carolina in 1733, because of his help growing the colony. The square features a 50-foot marble monument to honor General Nathanael Greene, a hero during the American Revolution. Greene died near Savannah on June 19, 1786 and was originally buried at what is now known as the Colonial Cemetery. Vandalism during the Civil War resulted in the loss of many burial sites, including Greene’s. Fortunately, his remains emerged in the Graham vault and placed beneath the monument in 1901.

Wright Square

Highlight • Historical Site

Wright Square has two of the most impressive monuments in all of downtown – a towering statue and an enormous boulder. Its layout materialized in 1733. The original name of the square was Percival in honor of Viscount Percival, who became the Earl of Egmont. Later, the city decided to rename it Wright Square, after Sir James Wright, Georgia’s third and last Royal Governor. The central monument honors William Washington Gordon, the founder of the Central of Georgia Railroad, and the boulder in the southeast corner memorializes Tomochichi, the leader of the Yamacraws, a friend of General Oglethorpe and ally of the English. Tomochichi negotiated a treaty that gave General Oglethorpe the land that became Savannah and was a key part in establishing the military outpost against the Spanish invasion. After he died in the Yamacraw Indian Village in 1737 he was brought back to Savannah to be buried among his English friends, at his request. His body lies in the center of the square with a pyramid of rocks placed over his grave. General Oglethorpe’s ordered the burial arrangements.
