Text of marker: "GERMAN VILLAGE. Here in 1736, Oglethorpe settled a group of German Lutherans, known as Salzburgers, and their settlement was called the German Village. These Salzburgers made their living by planting, fishing, and selling their products to the Frederica settlers. When Oglethorpe's regiment was disbanded in 1749 the Salzburgers left St. Simons Island. During the Plantation Era, the Wylly family lived here, their plantation being called "The Village." 063-8 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1954" - External Identifiers:
