Congregation Mickve Israel in Savannah Georgia is one of the oldest in the United States as it was organized in 1735 by mostly Sephardic Jewish immigrants from London who arrived in the new colony in 1733. They consecrated their current synagogue located on Monterey Square in historic Savannah in 1878. It is a rare example of a Gothic-style synagogue. The synagogue building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
