Jekyll Island's history begins some 3,500 years ago. Prior to British colonization, the island's first inhabitants were Native Americans. General James Oglethorpe founded the colony of Georgia in 1733, and along with it, Jekyll Island. The island was named for Sir Joseph Jekyll, a financial supporter of the colony.
Major William Horton was appointed by General Oglethorpe to build an outpost on Jekyll Island to protect Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island. The island was home to prosperous plantations until the end of the Civil War.
Jekyll Island was purchased in 1886 by a group of wealthy families as a private retreat. By 1900, The Jekyll Island Club membership included the Rockefellers, Morgans, Cranes, and Goulds and represented over one-sixth of the world’s wealth. The Club closed in 1942 and Jekyll Island was purchased by the State of Georgia in 1947.
Learn more about the rich history of Jekyll Island, Georgia. Or, revisit the past with a tram tour of the National Historic Landmark District, including many of the opulent mansions their millionaire owners called “cottages."
Also, don't forget to check out the Jekyll Island Club Resort! The Club officially opened its doors in January 1888, quickly becoming a retreat for families that represented one-sixth of the world's wealth. www.jekyllclub...

What was the date you were there. Me and mine went to the Island in Oct 2021 it was an awesome place it wasn't crowded at that time and the weather was fabulous. I love the Island. We rented a house with a pool and stayed 7 wonderful days I hated to leave. Your video shows it just the way I remember it.
