Why this spot
1874-1916 lumber mill and deepwater port
A steam lumber mill and company village built in 1874 on a deep stretch of the Satilla, where rafted timber was sawn and loaded onto ocean ships. A boiler explosion in late 1915 wrecked the mill, the company chose not to rebuild, and the post office closed in 1916.View source →
