The Salzburgers settled the town of Ebenezer about 25 miles upriver of Savannah. Back home, these Lutheran Protestants had been persecuted because of their religious beliefs; settling in the new colony of Georgia offered religious freedom, free land, and a new start.

I hope I helped

The name of the settlement the Salzburgers built that was 25 miles northwest of Savannah was called "New Ebenezer." They opened many silk mills, and was considered a "religious utopia on the Georgia frontier."
