'''Montgomery''' is an [[unincorporated community]] and [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Chatham County, Georgia|Chatham County]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], United States. The population was 4,443 at the [[2020 United States census]], down slightly from 4,523 in 2010.<ref name="Census 2010">{{cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US1352332| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212180901/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US1352332| url-status=dead| archive-date=February 12, 2020| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Montgomery CDP, Georgia| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| accessdate=July 24, 2014}}</ref> It is a suburb of [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]] and is part of the [[Savannah metropolitan area]].

==History==
Montgomery is believed to be the location of an early settlement in the Savannah area (prior to [[James Oglethorpe|General Oglethorpe]]'s land grant in 1733) founded by three brothers who were British baronets: William, James, and Robert Montgomery. They received a land grant in 1677. They failed to maintain a permanent settlement, due to poor location and disease, and therefore lost their grant. The brothers moved to the more established [[Colony of Virginia|Virginia Colony]]. The name of the settlement continues in this area of Chatham county, as well as Old Montgomery Road, Montgomery Street, and Montgomery Cross Road.

==Geography==
Montgomery is located south of the center of Chatham County at {{coord|31|56|36|N|81|6|24|W|type:city}} (31.943237, -81.106648).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> It occupies a neck of land bordered on the west by the Vernon River, on the east by the Moon River, and on the south by the Burnside River; all of which are tidal. The northeast border of the CDP is formed by [[Georgia State Route 204#Savannah spur route|Georgia SR 204 Spur]], which leads to [[Skidaway Island, Georgia|Skidaway Island]]. Downtown Savannah is {{convert|13|mi}} north of the Montgomery town center.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|15.7|km2|disp=flip}}, of which {{convert|13.5|km2|disp=flip}} is land and {{convert|2.2|km2|disp=flip}}, or 13.94%, is water.<ref name="Census 2010"/>
