SAVANNAH has the largest designated Historic Landmark District in America and it is based on the original plan for the Colony of Georgia designed by James Edward Oglethorpe in 1733. Within the District today are residences, hotels, churches, businesses and a university. Thousands of tourists visit the city every year and most, residents and tourists alike, walk the streets in the Historic District without any idea of for whom the streets are named. Who were these historic figures, what did they do to have a street named for them? Oglethorpe and Martin Luther King are two names most would recognize, they may think that they know for whom Lincoln Street is named, but who were Drayton, Whitaker, Bryan and Abercorn? What did Harris, Hull, Gaston and Gordon do to warrant such an honor? Were any of the streets named for women? IT'S NOT THAT LINCOLN answers those questions.
