A Brief History of Glynn County

Glynn County was established on February 5, 1777, making it one of Georgia's original coastal counties. It was named for John Glynn, a member of the British Parliament known for his sympathy toward the American colonial cause.

Brunswick, the county's only incorporated municipality and its seat, was actually founded earlier, in 1771, and was named after the German ancestral home of Britain's reigning royal house.

St. Simons Island and the surrounding barrier islands saw plantation agriculture in the antebellum period, followed by a period of decline; the island's fortunes revived in the 1870s when a lumber company chose it as a base of operations.

Glynn County's Economy Today

The Port of Brunswick has grown into one of the busiest automobile-handling ports in the country, moving vehicles and other cargo and anchoring a significant share of Glynn County's modern economy.

Tourism ranks as the county's single largest industry, drawn by the beaches, golf resorts, and historic sites of Brunswick and the Golden Isles, while the federal law enforcement training center in nearby Glynco trains officers from dozens of federal agencies.

Commercial fishing still plays a role in the local economy as well, with shrimping, crabbing, and oyster harvesting continuing a maritime tradition.
