At the mouth of the Altamaha is a small cluster of houses, scarce deserving the name of a village, called Doboy.
It was not until 1717 that any effort was made to improve the lands between the Savannah and the Altamaha.
The stream from whence they are named is an up country river, which, by its junction with the Ocmulgee, forms the Altamaha.
They all landed at Savannah, and now planned to make a settlement south of their capital city, by the mouth of Altamaha.
The Altamaha had had but little success, and was comparatively empty.
