Fort Frederica National Monument preserves a frontier fort and town erected to strengthen the British position in the colony of Georgia against Spanish incursions. The settlement was built by British general and member of parliament James Oglethorpe. The settlement, which grew to 500 strong, was named after Frederick, the Prince of Wales and son of King George II. It was named Frederica to differentiate it from Fort Frederick in South Carolina.

 Frederica stands at a heart of a strip of land contended by both Great Britain and Spain. John Oglethorpe founded the colony of Georgia so that debtors who landed in Debtor's Prisons can be resettled into a new life.

Fort Frederica became a national monument under proclamation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 26 May, 1936.
