Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill stands between the Ogeechee River and Georgia’s Atlantic coast in coastal Georgia, a setting that has tied the city to the Lowcountry’s tidal waterways, pine woods, and marshlands. Once known as Ways Station, it became associated with Henry Ford after the industrialist bought the Richmond Hill Plantation in the 1920s and made it his winter retreat. Nearby Fort McAllister State Park preserves Civil War earthworks on the Great Ogeechee River; the fort fell to Union forces in December 1864 during Sherman’s March to the Sea. Richmond Hill is now part of the Savannah metropolitan area while retaining a distinctly coastal, small-city identity.
