What is the history of Seals, Georgia?
Before the American Civil War the county supported a number of plantations; sixty eight were documented in the county history book Camden’s Challenge (Readdick 1976). However, many of these were abandoned after the Civil War, and small farms started to flourish instead. Many tiny communities were formed and later abandoned, some now little more than a few overgrown remains, but presenting undoubted possibilities for archaeological investigation. A line of the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad, later part of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, was opened in January 1894 between Kingsland and Woodbine, and Seals was on the line about halfway between the two. Seals was only one of many villages – others included Burnt Fort, Center Village, Kinlaw, Scarlett, Walker Swamp, Tompkins, Clarksville, Red Cap, Ceylon, Satilla Bluff and Spring Hill.
