Darien Heights

Darien Heights is best known within coastal Georgia for its setting near the lower Altamaha River, where tidal marshes extend toward the Atlantic. It lies beside Darien, a port town settled in 1736 by Scottish Highlanders. Formed by the Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers, the Altamaha is one of Georgia’s major coastal waterways, reaching the sea through a broad estuary of marsh creeks and islands. Nearby Fort King George Historic Site preserves the location of a British outpost founded in 1721, before Georgia became a colony.
