Camden County

Camden County stretches along Georgia's Atlantic coast and includes many waterways, wetlands, and barrier islands near the Florida border. The landscape features natural preserves, river deltas, and wide coastal zones shaped by water and tidal movements.

The territory was established as Camden County in 1777, making it the first county organized in Georgia after the Declaration of Independence. Early growth was tied to river access and maritime trade.

The county maintains several public libraries, parks, and recreation centers that provide educational programs and community services throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the administrative center in Woodbine and explore the region's natural areas from there. The territory is best accessed by car, as travel between the various coastal sections and islands requires longer drives.

The area is home to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, a major coastal military installation. This base is a key reason why this sparsely populated coastal region remains economically significant.
