Glynn County

Glynn County, one of the eight original Counties of Georgia, was organized under the 1777 Constitution of the State of Georgia. IT was named in honor of John Glynn, a member of the British House of Commons who defended the cause of the American Colonies in the difficulties which led to the Revolutionary War.

Glynn County contains the lands formerly included in the Colonial Parishes of St. David, St. Patrick, and St. James, which had been organized in 1785.

The current Glenn County courthouse (pictured above) was built in 1991, though the old courthouse still sands accross the street.



In 1896 a hurricane destroyed the original court house, and it's replacement was built in 1907. The two story brick structure still stands today.

This building was used until 1991 when the new building was constructed.







This postcard photo was taken shortly after the completion of the longstanding court house built in 1907, which served until 1991. This on of many historic landmarks in Brunswick Georgia.
