Brunswick (Georgia, USA)

    0.04 sec.

Brunswick

City and administrative headquarters of Glynn County, southeastern Georgia, on the estuarial Turtle River and Brunswick River and St Simons Sound, 101 km/63 mi southwest of Savannah; population (2000) 15,600. It is the second major port of Georgia, and is an important centre for seafood (especially shrimp and crab) processing, also handling naval stores and wood and pulp products.

The city was laid out in 1771. It is the gateway to the coastal resorts of Jekyll and St Simons islands.

The marshy eastern part of the city inspired the poem ‘The Marshes of Glynn’, written in the 1870s by Sidney Lanier.
