Brunswick

Brunswick is located in Glynn County and it is the county seat. The city is situated east of Waycross along Interstate 95, near St Simons Sound in the Coast Region of the state.

General James Oglethorpe laid out Brunswick's streets and squares in 1771. George Washington proclaimed Brunswick as one of the five original ports of entry for the Colonies in 1789.

Today, a significant part of the city's economy is tourism. Brunswick, with an estimated population of 63,701, is undergoing a restoration of Georgia's second largest array of historic structures. One attraction is Brunswick's waterfront, where visitors will encounter the Liberty Ship Memorial Plaza, shrimp boats, cruise and casino ships, a marina, and international vessels. Another tourist destination is Old Town Brunswick with its Victorian commercial buildings, homes and bed & breakfast inns. The port is a deep-water magnet for national and international shipping.
