Review:
Jekyll Island was named after Sir. Joseph Jekyll, an English financier, in 1733. The island was first used as a hunting club for exclusive guests only in the late 1800s. The retreat is part of one of the most significant preservation projects in the southeastern United States, and the Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark District was deemed a state park in 1947.
Visitors to the island can explore the island by foot or trolley on guided tours that include the Jekyll Island Museum and historic sites. There are also special events and program throughout the year related to the history and culture of the island.
