Yamacraw Bluff
Yamacraw Bluff is a bluff situated on the bank of the Savannah River. The bluff is most notable for being the spot upon which General James Edward Oglethorpe landed to settle the colony of Georgia. The bluff was originally inhabited by the Yamacraw Indians. A stone marker and statue now adorn the bluff in honor of its historic value.
Yamacraw Bluff was first and the inhabited by a group of Creek Indians which named themselves after the bluff around 1730. Chief Tomochichi was the founder of the tribe. In 1733 General James Oglethorpe and 10 colonists landed on the bluff. The General went on to found Savannah with the help of the chief and a local translator, Mary Musgrove. The Indians eventually left the bluff to merge with a larger inland tribe, only occupying the bluff for under two decades.
