Reynolds Square

Reynolds Square, one of Savannah’s 22 historic squares, was established in 1734 as one of the city’s first six squares and served as a center point for the colonial government. Originally named Lower New Square, it was later renamed to honor John Reynolds, the first Royal Governor of Georgia. The square is characterized by its leafy surroundings and features a prominent bronze statue of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. Today, visitors can stroll through the green space, admire the statue, and soak in the historical ambiance of this significant site.
