History

Established in 1946.

Beginning in 1886 and continuing for over four gilded decades, the Island was the exclusive domain of the renowned Jekyll Island Club — the winter retreat for some of America’s most elite families.

Today, the Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark District is a 240-​acre, riverfront compound and one of the largest, ongoing restoration projects in the southeastern United States.
