Brunswick Town Historic Site

Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site, which dates back to 1726, is one of the many historic sites in the area. The ruins of the town, burned by the British in 1776, along with the earthen works of the fort can be toured, and there is an informative visitor center housing artifacts and displays.

St. James Plantation

Probably the first of the modern-day planned developments, St. James Plantation, located five miles south of Southport, is a secure, gated, private residential community situated on the Intracoastal Waterway. On 5,000 acres with 81 holes of golf, marina, restaurant, tennis, pools, clubhouse, fitness center, chapel and even its own fire station, St. James Plantation, begun in 1985, is a community in itself – in fact, as of 1999, St. James Plantation became an incorporated town.

Several other residential developments and plantations combined with golf clubs have been built or are continuing to expand in Brunswick County. They are covered in our Communities chapter.
