Why this spot
about 1740-1810 Chickasaw town, then tobacco inspection
Begun around 1740 as a Chickasaw village at the mouth of Butler Creek below Augusta, it later served as a tobacco inspection where casks were graded and loaded on pole boats for Savannah. The tobacco trade waned in the early 1800s and the town ended with it.View source →
