Wright Square was commonly called Court House Square because a courthouse was located on the square. The square also has the Lutheran Church of the Ascension and a United States Post Office. The Post Office was built in 1899 of Georgia marble and has panels of all the different types of marble found in Georgia at the top of the building.

Tomochichi was buried in this square in 1739. He was the Yamacraw Indian chief who welcomed General Oglethorpe when he landed in Savannah. A huge boulder of Georgia granite was placed on the southeast side of the square in memory of Tomochichi.

A monument of William Washington Gordon stands in the center of the square. He was an early mayor of Savannah, a Supreme Court Justice and established the Central of Georgia Railroad. He was also father of Juliette Gordon Low , founder of The Girl Scouts of America.
