Geography

Montgomery is located at 31°56′36″N 81°6′24″W / 31.94333°N 81.10667°W / 31.94333; -81.10667 (31.943237, -81.106648)^[3].

It is believed to be the location of an early settlement in the Savannah area (prior to General Oglethrope's land grant in 1733) founded by three brothers, William, James, and Robert Montgomery under a land grant of 1677. They failed to maintain a permanent settlement, due to poor location and disease, and so lost the English land grant. The brothers moved to the most established Virginia. The name of the settlement continues in this area of Savannah as well as Montgomery Street and Montgomery Crossroad.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 6.1 square miles (16 km²), of which, 5.3 square miles (14 km²) of it is land and 0.8 square miles (2.1 km²) of it (13.24%) is water.
