Yamacraw

Yamacraw

The Yamacraw were a Native American tribe which settled parts of Georgia, specifically around the future site of the city of Savannah.

History

The Yamacraw formed by 1728, under the leadership of Tomochichi, out of some of the Yamasee and Creek who had disagreed with the breaking of friendship with the British during the Yamasee War of 1715. By 1728 the Yamacraw had settled at the site of the present day city of Savannah. In 1733 James Oglethorpe, interested in the site, negotiated with Tomochichi and the Yamacraw agreed to move their village upriver.
