A Brief History of Camden County

Camden County was established on February 5, 1777, as one of Georgia's original coastal counties, taking its name from Charles Pratt, the Earl of Camden, a British legal official who had publicly sided with the American colonies before the Revolution.

Through the nineteenth century the county's economy relied on its rivers and coastal access, first for agriculture and later for the timber and naval stores trades that boomed in the 1890s. A paper mill that arrived in 1939 added industrial jobs.

The most transformative development came in the late 1970s, when the U.S. Navy chose Kings Bay as the site of a new submarine base, becoming the East Coast home port for the Navy's fleet of ballistic missile submarines.

Camden County's Economy Today

Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay dominates Camden County's economy today, employing thousands of military personnel and civilian workers and generating well over a billion dollars in annual economic impact.

County leaders have worked for years to diversify beyond this reliance on the Navy, most notably through a long-running proposal to build a commercial spaceport near the coast, though the plan was effectively ended after a referendum and court ruling in the early 2020s.

Tourism has become a growing complement to the base economy, centered on the historic waterfront town of St. Marys and its role as the main gateway to Cumberland Island National Seashore.
