Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Kingsland, GA

Kingsland is a city in Camden County, Georgia, situated along the southeast Georgia coast near the Florida border and adjacent to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay.

Kingsland is the largest city in Camden County, whose population was 54,768 in the 2020 census and whose county seat is Woodbine.

Kingsland traces its origin to the arrival of the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad — a predecessor of CSX Transportation — on Christmas Day 1893, which passed through property owned by the King family.

Kingsland was platted in 1894 when the railroad was extended to that point, and named after William Henry King, the original owner of the town site.

The city was incorporated in 1908, and William Henry King mapped out the town on his property and became its first mayor.

The King family had bought large amounts of land west of St. Marys in 1788 and named their plantation Woodlawn; William King's home on 'King's Land' was the only house in sight when the first passenger train rolled through in 1893, so the railroad named the area 'Kings Land.'

The population of Kingsland was 18,337 at the 2020 census, up from 15,946 at the 2010 census, with 4,546 families residing in the city in 2020.

Recent annexations of large tracts of land have given Kingsland a total area of about 45 square miles, of which roughly 42.7 square miles is land and 2.2 square miles is water.

Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, next to Kingsland, was established on July 1, 1978, when the Navy raised its flag there, and its construction was the largest peacetime construction program ever undertaken by the U.S. Navy, taking nine years and costing $1.3 billion.

Kings Bay encompasses about 16,000 acres, of which 4,000 acres are protected wetlands, and it is the Atlantic Fleet's home port for Ohio-class Trident ballistic missile submarines.
