Savannah bar and grill is owned by American businessman Darrell Gartrell, (Wisdom21, JAFA) whose forefathers reign from the historic town of Savannah, Georgia.

The name of this restaurant is taken from the small yet very historic American city of Savannah Georgia, birthplace of the family of the owner. The history of the US state of Georgia itself begins in February 1733 when General James Oglethorpe landed in what is now known as Savannah and established the final of the 13 original colonies. Georgia was named for England｡ﾇs King George II. Aided by the native Yamacraw Indian chief Tomo-chi-chi the town flourished without warfare and hardship, which plagued the beginnings of so many of the original 13 colonies. The city of Savannah, Georgia is credited as being America's first planned municipality.

The history of Georgia depicts how slavery was legalized in the colony and much of the South. The trans-Atlantic slave trade brought millions of Africans to Savannah, Georgia. The final of the 13 original colonies soon became a major port of entry for the slavery business. Due to the economic renaissance brought on by the exportation of cotton, residents built lavish homes and churches throughout the city that reflected the wealth of the times. To this day historic Savannah has maintained many of those structures.

Savannah history goes beyond the slave trade. In 1819, Savannah made worldwide news as the home port for the steamship, the S.S. Savannah, the first steam-powered vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Despite economic growth two devastating fires in 1796 and 1820 left half of Savannah, Georgia in ashes, but the residents quickly re-built. In 1820 there was also an outbreak of yellow fever that eradicated a tenth of Savannah's population.

With the onslaught of the Civil War, the city of Savannah suffered from sea trade blockades so strict that Savannah's economy soon collapsed. However, Savannah Georgia did not fall until Union General William Sherman entered the city walls. In 1864, the history of Georgia describes how Sherman began his march to the sea, burning the city of Atlanta and everything else in their path on the way to the coast. . Savannah history was made when Sherman entered the glorious historic Savannah district and was so taken back by its beauty that on December 22, 1864, a legendary telegram was sent from Savannah to President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman presented the city of Savannah to Lincoln as a Christmas present.

After the war many freed slaves remained in the city of Savannah. Savannah, Georgia 's oldest black community went on to become one of the most historically significant African-American communities in the nation. And in the 1950s a group of concerned citizens gave rise to the Historic Savannah Foundation who has since saved multitudes of buildings and communities.
