Savannah (also, Savanna) is a former settlement in Los Angeles County, California, USA.
[1] The rail depot of that name was located on the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad between San Gabriel and El Monte, at an elevation of 276 feet (84 m).
[1] Savannah was promoted with considerable dignity in 1887–88 but vanished, nevertheless; the neighborhood of the depot has been absorbed by Rosemead.
Savannah was the location of Camp Monte, a Rebel base where State militias trained openly for participation in the Civil War until Federal troops suppressed it by establishing Camp Carleton in 1862.
[2][3] Camp Monte is recalled today in "Johnny Rebel," the former mascot of Savanna High School and name for a statue of a Civil-War era soldier that used to be in the quad.
