Originally inhabited by the Guale Indians, and graced by one of the deepest natural channels on the East Coast, Sunbury was settled about 1757, and quickly became the second busiest seaport in Georgia. Liberty County was named for its role in America's struggle for independence. The first flag of independence in Georgia was raised in Liberty County when it was still part of Saint John's Parish. Fort Morris was built in Sunbury to protect Georgia from attacks by the British. On November 25th, 1778 the British forces demanded the immediate surrender of the fort. Colonel John McIntosh sent a defiant reply: "Come and take it!" Shortly thereafter, the British took the fort after a short but heavy bombardment. During the next hundred years, the fort would be modified and used several times by both American and British forces.


Today, Sunbury is home to the exclusive residential communities of The Village at Sunbury, The Pointe, and Merchants Wharf, as well as The Shrimp Docks and Sunbury Crab Company restaurants, and a public boat ramp. Sunbury is the largest residential area east of Interstate 95 in Liberty County. Further east, Colonel's Island includes several developments situated on the Medway and North Newport Rivers and a marina open to the public.

Saint Catherine's Island, accessible by boat, is located across the ICW from Yellow Bluff and is one of Georgia's last undeveloped barrier islands. The island was home to the Mission Santa Catalina de Guale, Georgia's oldest known church. The beaches of Saint Catherine's Island are pristine and boast an assortment of coastal wildlife.
