Fort Frederica National Monument on St. Simons Island,
Georgia, preserves the archaeological remnants of a fort and town built
by James Oglethorpe between 1736 and 1748 to protect the southern boundary
of the British colony of Georgia from Spanish raids. About 630 British troops
were stationed at the fort. A town of up to about 500 residents existed
outside the fort. One-third of Frederica Town's original colonists left
within the first five years of settlement. Many returned to England. The
town was named Frederica, after Frederick, Prince of Wales, son of King
George II.
