in 1562. Ribault was sent out by French Huguenots to find a suitable place for a settlement. Ribault named the rivers he saw the Seine and the Some. Today these rivers, the former of which forms the southern border of Camden County, are known as the St. Marys and Satilla Rivers. Ribault described the area as, "Fairest, fruitfulest and pleasantest of all the world."
became alarmed by the French settlements and sent out a large force to take over and settle the area. The Spanish held the area for the next 100 years. During that time, the Spaniards attempted to convert all the native Indians they came across to Christianity
. One Franciscan
party built a mission in what is now St. Marys. The missionaries received permission to build by the Indian Queen Hiacaia, the ruler over a large Indian village in the area.
After many years, the Spaniards abandoned the settlements due to troubles with the Indians. The Indians had risen up against the Spanish and slaughtered many of the priests. After the abandonment, the English
felt the area was now open to their claims. During this time, Spain also continued to claim the area. They lost their claim in 1742 during the decisive Battle of Bloody Marsh
(off St. Simons Island).
had quite an influence in this area aside from leading battles. He founded a town on St. Simons Island called Frederica, named after a member of the royal family. Oglethorpe designed the town of Savannah
and his work can still be seen in the historic district. He was at Cumberland Island
when an Indian gave the barrier island its name. Later, he erected a hunting lodge on Cumberland named Dungeness, which was predecessor to the famous Greene and Carnegie Dungeness Mansions. He also founded St. Andrews Fort on the north end of Cumberland Island as well as a strong battery, Fort Williams, on the south end. Fort Williams commanded the entrance to the St. Marys River.
In 1763, Spain, under a treaty of peace with England
, ceded Florida
to Britain
. After this, the boundaries of Georgia
were extended from the Altamaha (now the southern boundary of McIntosh County) to the St. Marys River (the current southern boundary of Camden). In 1765, four towns were laid off between the Altamaha and St. Marys Rivers. These were St. Davids, St. Patricks, St. Marys and St. Thomas. The Parish of Camden, named for Charles Pratt, Earl of Camden in England, was then formed from the St. Marys and St. Thomas townships. At first, the community of St. Patrick was the County Seat of Camden. Later, the county seat was moved further south to St. Marys.
in 1775. It was then that the people renamed the area Camden County.
During this time, the brothers of Governor Wright of Georgia, Charles and German Wright - who were English Loyalists - built a fort on their land. The brothers built this fort, which was on the St. Marys River, in order to protect their land during the war. Wright's Fort became a rendezvous for a group of loyalists called the "Florida Rangers". They robbed many south Georgians and stored their loot in Wright's Fort.
Two skirmishes were fought by Loyalist and Continental forces over Wright's Fort, and both times American troops failed to rout the Loyalists from the area. Finally, retreating British soldiers burned it down in 1778. The Americans rebuilt it when they invaded East Florida, and then burned it down to prevent it falling into enemy hands. The remains were finally discovered in 1975.
By 1783, the British had lost the war and turned Florida over to the Spanish. The English loyalists came home to Camden to find that their property had become property of the state. Despite the population loss during the war, abandoned settlements were soon repopulated, and the area recovered as people were again drawn to the rich Camden County land.
, within Camden County, was the region of a small battle known as the Battle of St. Marys. The British achieved victory and thus captured and occupied the town for a couple weeks.
, Camden sent out two companies of infantry
to fight in the Confederate Army. This was a huge amount of men to leave such a sparsely populated area. At the beginning of the Civil War, the population was 5,482 of which only 1,721 were white. The war devastated the area. Several families lost their sons in the fighting.
Camden County seemed able to deal with the changes easier than some other areas. By the turn of the century, about half the land in the county was owned by blacks. The freeing of the slaves appears to be yet another change that the blacks and whites of this county dealt with in a relatively positive manner. Integration in the 1960s was peaceful.

Legacy
After the War, especially during Reconstruction, the local residents learned to live without slave labor and eventually began to prosper again. Even so, many plantation owners left the area, leaving only their slaves, their dead and their name. Today, their influence can be seen by the surnames of local African American families such as the Parrishes and the Holzendorfs.Camden County seemed able to deal with the changes easier than some other areas.
