Amelia Island: is one of the
southernmost of the Sea Islands, a chain of barrier islands that
stretches along the east coast of the United States from South Carolina
to Florida. It is 13 miles (21 km) long and approximately 4 miles (6 km)
wide at its widest point. Amelia Island is situated off the coast in
Nassau County, Florida, south of Cumberland Island, Georgia. Fernandina
Beach and Amelia City are both located on the island. Named for Princess
Amelia, daughter of King George II, Amelia Island is also rich in
history and tradition. Native American bands associated with the
Timucuan mound-building culture settled on the island, which they called
Napoyca, circa 1000.
