Louisville:
Louisville was Georgia's capital city from 1796 to 1806. Once again, the state government moved to a site near an Indian trading post along the Ogeechee River in 1796. The new capital city was named Louisville, in honor of King Louis XVI of France because France was an American ally during the Revolution. The historic Market House, Louisville’s oldest building, built during the 1790s shortly after the founding of the city.
