Yamacraw Bluff is the bluff overlooking the Savanna River where General Oglethorpe landed in 1733. It was occupied by the Yamacraw tribe at the time and General Oglethorpe negotiated with Chief Tomachichi to move the tribe further down river. Owing to the negotiations, the two groups maintained friendly relations and the site became Savanna, the first settlement of Georgia.
In effect, Yamacraw Bluff is the Plymouth Rock of Georgia.
