## Location

        

Garden City and Port Wentworth sit along the Savannah River northwest of downtown Savannah, accessed via Highway 21 and Grange Road. The Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City Terminal occupies roughly 1,500 acres here with more than two miles of continuous berthing, making it the largest single container terminal in the Western Hemisphere. The surrounding corridor hosts extensive warehousing, distribution, and rail intermodal facilities serving the port.

## Character

        

This corridor is defined by its working port economy — modest single-family and mobile-home residential pockets sit alongside rail yards, container storage, and distribution centers. Truck traffic on Highway 21 and Grange Road is heavy around shift changes, and the area's fortunes are directly tied to the Georgia Ports Authority's container volumes, which reached 5.7 million TEUs in FY2025.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Garden City and Port Wentworth grew as company towns tied to early 20th-century industrial and rail development along the Savannah River, later transformed by the Georgia Ports Authority's mid-20th-century expansion of container shipping infrastructure, which has continued to expand through the 2020s to keep pace with East Coast trade growth.
