Georgia Capitol was on this site, (1794-1807). Colonists on the coast had urged a location on higher ground "with good drinking water." The famous constitutional convention of 1798 was held here and the document then adopted lasted 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.| HM Number | HMQCU |
