Web Design in Lafayette, Georgia
The city of Lafayette in Georgia was named after Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834), who came to the United States from France at the invitation of Congress and toured all twenty-four states between August 1824 and September 1825.
Marquis de Lafayette had fought in the eight-year-long Revolutionary War at the crucial Battles of Brandywine in Pennsylvania and Virginia in 1781. In his old age, he hoped to attend ceremonies for the fiftieth anniversary of Boston's Bunker Hill in 1825.
He arrived in Savannah and started across Georgia towards Alabama. It tooks thirteen days to travel the four hundred miles, but finally he crossed the Chattahoochee into Alabama, where he continued on his tour. Present day Lafayette, Georgia, is just one of the small towns across the USA named after the great man.
