Kingsland is a city rich in history and natural beauty, along with a vibrant business and social environment. Visitors come here by the thousands each year to enjoy the pristine wilderness of Cumberland Island or the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.

A great number of visitors and retirees enjoy Kingsland so much that they decide to settle down here. As a resident, you'll take advantage of all of the wonders of the area in a climate that is pleasant year-round. I can tell you that Kingsland offers unparalleled opportunities for any company that requires a quality labor base, easy access to transportation, or a built-in community of potential customers with relatively high disposable incomes. Rich in history, the city's downtown district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A streetscaping project has returned the downtown to the charming look it had in the 1920's and 1930's, and visitors can wander the bricked sidewalks in search of a great bargain on Antique Row. Cumberland Island Wild horses run free through the marshes and the windswept dunes, while the inland forests shelter deer, alligator, armadillo, and mink. Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge Visitors to the refuge can enjoy guided boat tours or paddle their own boats as they encounter the hundreds of species of plant and animal life, including the often-photographed alligators, which call the Okefenokee home. Fishing, camping, picnicking, and bike rentals are also available. St. Marys Submarine Museum The museum houses more than 3,500 items, including models, photographs, written histories, and artifacts. It also contains a working periscope, through which visitors may view the surrounding area.
