Kingsland, Georgia Information
The city of Kingsland, Georgia is the place to be each year on Labor Day weekend for their annual Catfish Festival. With a 2010 population of 15,946, this Camden County city’s historical district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. In 1788, the King family bought large amounts of land west of St. Mary’s and named the plantation Woodlawn. The great-grandson of John King, William King, later built a home on “King’s Land.” On Christmas Day in 1893 the first passenger train (the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad, today’s CSX Railroad) rolled into Camden County right across King’s property. As Mr. William King’s house was the only one in sight, the railroad company named the area “Kings Land.” With the coming of the railroad, people from all areas began to build in and around Kings Land setting a new era in motion. After the railroad was developed, William Henry King mapped out the town to be located on his property and named it in his honor. Stores and businesses were open, and he became the first mayor when the City of Kingsland was incorporated in 1908. Presumably, this was when the town’s two-word title became only one word. The City’s Police and Volunteer Fire Departments have been traced back to 1942 and 1943, respectively. The first fire truck in the 1940s consisted of an army wagon with a pump on it that would be pulled by the first pickup truck to get there. In the 1950s the first fire truck was built by mounting the old tank and pump on a 1953 Chevrolet chassis. The first factory-built truck was purchased in 1968. In 1973, the first ambulance license was issued to Kingsland Fire Rescue and they served the whole county. In 1969 the City bought its first garbage truck, a Ford Packard and began charging for pickup. Before that time, a flatbed truck was used, and no fee was charged. In April 2007, the largest wild fire in Georgia history, the Bugaboo Scrub Fire started in the nearby Okefenokee Swamp. Kingsland was blanketed in smoke until the fire came under control. The city uses a lone area code of 912 and a single zip code, 31548.
