Ogeechee River—which (on the 10th Day of this Month) they had
named George-Town.”
“4 Feb., 1755.—His Excellency was pleased (with the approbation
of the Board) to name the Town lately laid out at a Place
commonly called the Elbow on Great Ogeechee River, Hardwick.”

[237] This river was then called the GREAT HOGOHECHIE, which responds
more nearly to its original Indian name than the appellation subsequently
adopted.
[238] See Plans and Elevations of the Forts necessary in Georgia,
forwarded with Governor Reynolds’ letter of the 5th of January, 1756, and
now on file in the Public Record Office, London; Maps B. T., vol. XIII,
No. 14.
[239] The design of transferring the Capital of the Colony from Savannah
to Hardwick, conceived by Governor Reynolds, was adhered to by his
successor, Governor Ellis. “The depth of water in the river, its more
central position, its greater distance from Charleston—the proximity to
which, he argued, restricted the commerce of Savannah—the convenience of
its harbour as a naval station, and the fertility of its adjacent lands,
were the principal motives which operated with him to enforce the plan
suggested by his predecessor. As a consequence of clinging to this scheme
of removal, Governor Reynolds had neglected repairing the public buildings
of Savannah, and its inhabitants had ceased enlarging and beautifying a
town so soon to be deserted. The Filature was out of repair, the Church
was so decayed that it was only kept from falling down by surrounding it
with props, and the prison ‘was shocking to humanity.’
“The removal of the Seat of Government to Hardwicke, which had received
the favorable notice of former Governors, was discouraged by Sir James
Wright, who argued that if the object of a removal was to obtain a more
central position, Hardwicke was too near; while, on the other hand,
a removal there would be very disadvantageous to the present capital
which was conveniently settled for intercourse with the Indians and for
trade with South Carolina. The project was therefore abandoned, and the
attention of the Assembly was directed to enlarging and strengthening the
City which Oglethorpe had founded.”
