Georgia’s Capitol stood on this site from 1794 to 1807 after colonists on the coast urged a location on higher ground with good drinking water. The constitutional convention of 1798 met here, and the document adopted there remained in effect for seventy years. Georgia’s Great Seal, still in use, was adopted here in 1799. Governors who served here were Jared Irvin, James Jackson, David Emanuel, Josiah Tattnall, and John Milledge.
