    Bounded by E. York and E. State Streets, Wright Square was laid out in 1733. It was the second…read morecreated and one of the four original squares laid out by Georgia founder, James Oglethorpe. At that time of its creation it was named Percival Square in honor of Viscount Percival, Earl of Egmont who also helped found the colony of Georgia. He is credited with giving the colony its name Georgia, in honor of Great Britain's King George II. The square was later renamed Wright Square in 1763 in honor of Sir James Wright, the third governor of Georgia and its last royal one. Other names the square has gone by include Post Office Square, Courthouse Square, and Hanging Square. In earliest days the square held a courthouse, monthly auctions, and government bonds. It was also known as the hanging square because it was where people convicted of capital crimes met their deaths at the end of a hangman's rope. A boulder in the southeast corner of the square honors Tomochichi, chief of the Yamacraws. He was a friend of General Oglethorpe and was instrumental in negotiating the treaty that gave Oglethorpe the land that would become Savannah. He also helped establish a military outpost that repelled invasion by the Spanish. Tomochichi died in the Yamacraw village in 1773 but at his request he was brought back to Savannah and his body was put in the square with a pyramid of rocks over his grave. In 1882, a hundred years later, the mound was removed and replaced with the Gordon monument purchased by the Central Georgia Railroad for its founder William Washington Gordon who was also a politician and businessman. The monument has four red granite columns with Corinthian capitals. At the top are four winged figures that hold a globe. The figures represent agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, and art. It is the only monument in a square to a native Savannahian. Upset by the disrespect shown to Tomochichi, Nellie Kenzie Gordon, Gordon's daughter-in-law along with the Colonial Dames made a new monument to the Native American leader with a piece of granite taken from Stone Mountain. It was placed in the southeast corner of the square since his body still resides under the Gordon monument or was scattered when the Gordon monument was laid according to differing accounts. Legend has it that Tomochichi's ghost still remains in the square and if you say his name three times he will appear to you. Tomochichi is not the only ghost purported to be haunting Wright Square. This square was one of the stops on the Ghost City Tour, Dead of Night where we heard the sad tale of Alice Riley who is buried just off the square. Alice Riley and Richard White came over from Ireland as indentured servants. Alice and Richard were sent to work on a farm where Alice was forced to bathe her employer William Wise. Wise ended up drowned in a bucket, making him Georgia's first murder victim. Richard was blamed for the crime and hanged first and in 1735 Alice followed her lover to the gallows proclaiming her innocence after she gave birth but who the father was, her employer or White, is a mystery lost to time. Baby James passed away soon after the death of Alice and shortly tales began that she was a witch and had cursed the city of Savannah. It is said Alice is still roaming the square looking to be reunited with her son. Aside from ghosts, Wright Square is also home to many beautiful buildings like the Lutheran Church of Ascension which was dedicated in 1879. The church took its name from the stain glass depicting Christ's ascension into heaven that sits behind the alter. I love all of the squares of Savannah. Each one has unique monuments, history, and stories attached to it. This one might be the most storied of all. As one of the oldest and most haunted squares in Savannah, Wright Square is a must see on any tour.

    We hit up a lot of squares while we were in Savannah Georgia. This is one of them that we stopped…read moreand saw took a lot of photos. Kept it on moving nice little spot.
