Savannah, Nebraska

Savannah was established circa 1859, benefiting from its proximity to Shinn's Ferry, a ferry service across the Platte River.{{cite web | url=http://www.casde.unl.edu/history/counties/butler/davidcity/ | title=David City, Butler County | publisher=University of Nebraska | work=Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies | accessdate=29 January 2018}} 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.{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=NE&county=Butler&searchtext=&pagenum=2 | title=Butler County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=25 August 2014}} 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.

The village ultimately disappeared, but Savannah Township carries on the name.
