Trader's Hill, Georgia

Trader's Hill was a trading post and small settlement on the St. Marys River in Charlton County, Georgia.

After the War of 1812 ended, the fort was unmanned, but became active again from 1817 to 1819 during a time of heightened alarm mostly due to Creeks, but also due to the takeover of Fernandina by various rebel factions.

[2] During the Civil War, Trader's Hill became a refugee site for local people, including residents of St. Marys, seeking to get away from the coast.

[3] Today, a group of Georgia Historical Markers two miles away from the site of old Trader's hill commemorates the commercial center.

Trader's Hill itself is the site of a recreational vehicle campground and boat launching area.
