A historical plaque commemorates one of America’s earliest alcohol prohibition measures, enacted in Savannah in 1735 under King George II and James Oglethorpe. The regulation specifically targeted rum, brandy, and other distilled spirits, declaring their use particularly harmful and prohibiting their importation into the colony.
Historical significance: This site documents early American restrictions on the importation of rum and brandy—not their production, distillation, or a historic port still.
