St. Marys Historic District, historic district in St. Marys, Georgia, United States

St. Marys Historic District lies in St. Marys, Georgia, near the Florida border, roughly bounded by Waterfront Road, Norris Alexander and Oak Grove Cemetery. It holds parts of the 18th-century town grid with residential, commercial and religious buildings from the late 18th to early 20th century, among them Orange Hall and St. Marys United Methodist Church.

St. Marys was settled by the Spanish in the mid-16th century, established by an act of the Georgia legislature on December 5, 1792, and incorporated in November 1802. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 13, 1976, and served as Camden County's seat of government from 1869 until 1923.

St. Marys United Methodist Church, founded in 1799, is described as the father of Florida's Methodist churches. The district also holds Orange Hall, a contributing property listed individually on the National Register, and a bell cast by Paul and Joseph Warren Revere. The waterfront area and the early cemetery are among the features that shape the district's character.

The district lies along the St. Marys waterfront, roughly bounded by Waterfront Road, Norris Alexander and Oak Grove Cemetery, about 1 km north of central St. Marys. Walk it to see Orange Hall, a contributing property also listed individually on the National Register, and the 1799 St. Marys United Methodist Church. The terrain is low and flat, about 3 metres above sea level.

The district's Revere bell was cast by Paul and Joseph Warren Revere, descendants of Paul Revere; it hangs at St. Marys United Methodist Church, founded in 1799 and called the father of Florida's Methodist churches. The same boundary takes in Oak Grove Cemetery and the waterfront.
