Biohazard Cleanup Near The Lakes Everett, GA

Everett is a small, rural unincorporated community and census-designated place in Glynn County on Georgia's coast — not to be confused with a second Georgia community named Everett in Thomas County.

Everett first appeared as a census-designated place in the 2020 census, when it counted just 158 residents.

Everett is named for Robert Hammond Everett (1850-1935) of Brunswick, who owned large tracts of timber in the vicinity and operated a lumber and cypress shingle mill near the railroad junction that grew up there.

The community was originally chartered as Everett City in 1894 but lost its municipal status about ten years later after it failed to grow as its promoters had hoped.

Everett was once a bustling railroad junction shared by the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, with a yard tower, freight house, passenger depot, stock yard and about a half-dozen section houses for railroad employees — all removed by the end of the 1960s, while the lumber mill had already closed before World War II.

Everett sits near sea level in the flat coastal plain of Glynn County, and gazetteer records list its post office as opening in 1950, long after its railroad heyday.

Everett lies in Glynn County, which had 84,499 residents at the 2020 census, is seated at Brunswick, and forms the Brunswick metropolitan area along with Everett's neighboring CDPs such as Dock Junction and Sterling.
