In 1562, French explorer Jean Rebault named Amelia the Isle of May. In 1736, Gov. James Oglethorpe sailed south beyond the shores of Cumberland Island. He found this most beautiful island here. With the smell of blossoming orange trees and the blue white harbor, he thought this had to be GA. He named the Island Amelia. All names before this were canceled. Even the Spanish called it Amelia.

Amelia Sophia Eleanora was born June 10, 1710, the third daughter of King George II. Like the Legacy of her Island namesake, Princes Amelia's own life story is one of extremes. Princess Amelia was in love with her cousin, Crown Prince of Prussia (a state in Germany), the future Frederick the Great. This was a love that was not meant to be. You'll hear more about her on the tour.

From 1807 to 1878, Amelia Island was known as the "Spanish Hussy". Five blocks in Old Town, named Ladies' Promenade, housed 50 saloons and bordellos (no longer standing). Stories of pirates on the island have prompted that along with shrimp festival every May, they have a pirate invasion. The pirates, in reality, use the island as their Switzerland, and there are many wild stories about their time here.

So it is easy to say that: "Amelia Island was founded by the French, named by the English, and tamed by the Americas."
