Brunswick stew, shrimping, shipping, history, live oaks, palm trees, and
hospitality all define the international port city of Brunswick, gateway to
Georgia's Golden Isles. Founded in 1771 on Gen. James Oglethorpe's Savannah plan
of grids and squares, Brunswick today reflects its English heritage in the names
of her streets and squares - Prince, Newcastle, Gloucester, London,
Halifax. Brunswick is pure South - wide boulevards sheltered by towering oaks,
stunning Victorian homes and modest bungalows. Possessed of a mild climate and
laid-back attitude, the marshes of Glynn have inspired the poetry of Sidney
Lanier, the writings of Eugenia Price, the blockbusters of Bill Diehl. Brunswick
and the Golden Isles of Georgia are a true year round destination for tourists,
beachgoers, naturalists, sports fishermen and golfers alike.
Downtown Brunswick is part of Brunswick's Old Town National Register District.
Established on the natural bluff over Oglethorpe Bay, today it remains the
governmental and commercial heart of the city. Shrimp boats at sunset, historic
buildings, and Southern hospitality abound, awaiting your visit to Georgia's
Golden Isles.
