== History == Fort Hill, located on the highest land in the town, is a historic native village and was the site of a [[Jesuit]] mission in the 17th century, built by the remains of an earlier, "Owasco", village. Like other nearby towns, Savannah was part of the [[Central New York Military Tract]]. Settlers arrived in more modern times around 1808, but Savannah is considered to be the last town in the county that was settled. The Town of Savannah was created from the Town of [[Galen, New York|Galen]] on February 28, 1825. Wiley Schoolhouse (built 1874) is a fully restored historic one-room school for the former District #11 located at the intersection of Wiley (CR 374), Hogback and Olmstead roads in the southwest part of town.<ref name="WCOH">[http://www.co.wayne.ny.us/Departments/historian/Histsavannah.htm Wayne County Office of the County Historian - Savannah, New York], Retrieved February 3, 2015</ref> The Crusoe House (built 1824), located on N.Y. Route 89 near Crusoe Lake, is currently the oldest building in the Town of Savannah. Originally a hotel and tavern, the first-ever town meeting was held there in April 1825. It also served as the first post office.<ref name="WCOH"/><ref name="GENWEB">[http://wayne.nygenweb.net/savannah/answers.html Wayne County GenWeb - A Short Savannah, NY History], Retrieved February 3, 2015.</ref>
