Johnson Square

Established in 1733, Johnson Square is the oldest and largest of Savannah’s 22 historic squares. Named after Robert Johnson, the colonial governor of South Carolina, the square serves as a central landmark in the city’s original town plan. It features a striking obelisk honoring Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene, shaded walkways, and beautifully landscaped gardens. Surrounded by banks and historic buildings, Johnson Square remains a bustling hub of civic life and a gateway to Savannah’s rich colonial heritage.
