In 1771, the Royal Province of Georgia laid out the City of Brunswick in the same strong grid pattern General James Oglethorpe used in establishing the City of Savannah. Settlers arrived and remained because of the attraction of the Port.

The bustling waterfront is home to private and commercial vessels from all over the world, a marina, and endless activity. The Downtown area features Victorian commercial buildings and offers visitors and residents alike a sole experience with limitless shopping, dining and cultural activities.

Among its numerous assets, Brunswick includes the second largest concentration of documented historic structures in Georgia. The nearby islands of St. Simons and Jekyll lure visitors with the promise of beaches, resorts, and historic sites - it has long been known as the "Gateway to the Golden Isles". Our marshes along the east coast offer stunning views and are unique and beautiful in many ways."
