History

St. Simons Island, located on the southeastern coast of Georgia, has a rich and fascinating history that dates back thousands of years. The island has been inhabited by various Native American tribes, Spanish explorers, English settlers, and African slaves, all of whom have left their mark on the island's cultural heritage. Here's an overview of the history of St. Simons Island:

Native American Settlements: The earliest known inhabitants of St. Simons Island were Native American tribes, including the Guale people. They lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of European explorers. The Native Americans left behind shell middens (mounds of discarded oyster shells) that can still be found on the island today.
