Bounded on the north by the Little Satilla River from neighboring
Glynn County and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, Camden County's
southern boundary at the St. Marys River separates Georgia from
Florida. Dating from a 1766 land grant, port of St. Marys and
Camden County have faced a challenging past, present, and future.
Camden's growth and development have been driven by businessmen,
adventurers and opportunists, determined "wild swamp Crackers," and
hardy, self-reliant, God-fearing men and women.
Accompanied by Jonathan Bryan, a planter with an insatiable
appetite for virgin tracts of land, Georgia's third and last Royal
Governor James Wright visited Buttermilk Bluff in June 1767 and
envisioned a city. St. Marys was born, and its street names reflect
the surnames of the 20 founding fathers. While the county seat was
removed from a quaint St. Marys on more than one occasion, today,
the garden spot of Woodbine serves as the seat of county
government. Formerly the rice plantation of J.K. Bedell, this small
city shares a symbiotic relationship with port of St. Marys and the
"City of Royal Treatment" at Kingsland. The history of the county,
with its three main towns as well as the outlying, rural areas,
unfolds in striking photographs from days gone by. Preserved within
the pages of this treasured volume, images reveal Camden and its
people in times of tragedy and triumph.
