St. George Island

St. George Island is an island located in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida, in the United States. The island is situated in Franklin County, and is part of the Apalachicola Bay system. It is about 28 miles long and 1 mile wide, and is connected to the mainland by a bridge.

The island was inhabited by Native Americans for centuries before Europeans arrived. It was explored by the Spanish explorer Pánfilo de Narváez in 1528, who named it after the patron saint of England, St. George. In the late 1700s, the island was settled by English and Scottish immigrants.

The island has a rich history of fishing, farming, and timber production. It was also a major port for cotton and other goods. In the late 1800s, the island became a popular destination for tourists, and many of the buildings that remain today were built during this period.

The island is known for its pristine beaches and clear blue waters, and is a popular destination for fishing, swimming, boating, and other outdoor activities. It is also home to the St. George Island State Park, which offers a variety of trails and activities.

St. George Island is an important historical site, as it was the site of the Battle of St. George Island in 1836. The battle was fought between the United States Navy and the Seminole Indians, and was the last major battle of the Seminole Wars. The island is also home to the St. George Lighthouse, which was built in 1852 and is still operational today.
