History Of Augusta
Augusta was founded in 1735. The settlement was established in 1736 by the British General James Oglethorpe. In 1739, construction began on a road to connect Augusta to Savannah. This made it possible for people to reach Augusta by horse and more people began to migrate to Augusta. In 1750, the first church, Saint Paul's, was built. The railroad was built in 1845, giving Augusta a rail link to Atlanta. Unlike most Southern cities, the Civil War and the years after was financially successful for Augusta. Augusta had become one of the largest inland cotton markets in the world. In 1916, a large fire destroyed over 700 buildings in the city. In 1961, Ray Charles canceled a performance at the Bell Auditorium when he learned that the black people would be segregated from the whites and forced to sit in the balcony.
