Yulee

Yulee is a community in Nassau County, Florida, that includes residential areas, shopping centers, and public facilities spread across the northern part of the state. The settlement sits near the Georgia border and connects rural sections with newer subdivisions and service hubs that support daily life for local families.

The community took its name in 1893 from David Levy Yulee, a former senator and railroad builder who shaped the region during the mid-1800s. The settlement grew slowly throughout the 20th century, gaining momentum after transportation routes between Florida and Georgia expanded.

The population of 14,195 residents maintains community connections through local events at parks, sports complexes, and educational facilities throughout the year.

Visitors exploring the area will find public buildings like the justice center and the local college clearly marked along main roads. The flat terrain makes getting around straightforward, and most destinations are reachable by car within a few minutes.

Positioned at the northern edge of Florida, the local information pavilion is often the first stop for travelers entering the state from Georgia. Its location along the interstate allows visitors to pick up maps and tips for their journey through the Sunshine State.
