In its prime, the Savannah River was used for trade, transportation, fishing and water supplies by the Westo American Indian Tribe from the 1660's to 1680 when the Westo tribe was wiped out by a Shawnee tribe. At the time it was called the Westobou River but was renamed when the colonists took over the land. The river played a major part in the construction of Savannah, Georgia in 1733 by making it easier to move supplies. Modernly, the Savannah River is one of four rivers in the Southern United States that includes the Shoals Spider-Lily in the ecosystem. The river opens up to a large estuary on the coast of Georgia where freshwater and saltwater meet.
