Savannah is a ghost town in Butler County, Nebraska, United States. [1]
Savannah was established circa 1859, benefiting from its proximity to Shinn's Ferry, a ferry service across the Platte River. [2] It was the first county seat of Butler County, as voted in an 1868 election. A post office was established at Savannah in 1870, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1882. [3] An 1873 election relocated the county seat to the newly established David City, and Savannah's residents and merchants moved their buildings to the new town. [2]
The village ultimately disappeared, but Savannah Township carries on the name.
