11/7/2021

Fernandina Beach: The "Isle of 8 Flags" may have been controlled by eight different nations, but it's been an incorporated town here since 1825. The history of this city in Northeast Florida goes much, much farther back. Many of the 19th-century buildings remain in the downtown district.
Today Fernandina Beach it is a bustling little city of about 13,052 people living within the city limits.  Probably at least that many more live on Amelia Island. It is a self sufficient place with a solid paper industry, a shrimp fleet, and plenty of service industry jobs generated by the affluent retirement and second home communities of southern Amelia Island.
