HISTORY
CULTURE
GREEN CROSS FLAG
1817
The Scottish adventurer Sir Gregor MacGregor led
a small band of men to capture the island from its
Spanish defenders on June 29th, raising the Green
Cross of Florida flag without firing a shot. Four
months later, they were forced to leave.
MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARY FLAG
1817
As MacGregor ran out of money for men and
munitions, he left Amelia under the care of Ruggles
Hubbard and Jared Irwin, who joined with the pirate
Luis Aury to raise the Mexican rebel flag. U.S.
Troops occupied the island in December and held it
"in trust for Spain."
NATIONAL FLAG OF THE CONFEDERACY
1861-1862
Confederates took over Fort Clinch in April 1861,
but federal troops regained it on March 3, 1862
and occupied Fernandina for the duration of the
Civil War.
UNITED STATES
1821-PRESENT
Spain ceded Florida to the U.S. in 1821. The
prosperity of the late 1800s prompted a building
boom including two elegant hotels attracting wellheeled visitors such as the Vanderbilts, DuPonts, and
Carnegies. Early in the 20th century, the modern
shrimping industry was founded here.
To learn more, take the fascinating one-hour "Eight Flags Tour" held
twice a day at the Amelia Island Museum of History. Included free with
admission to the museum, the tour provides an in-depth, insider's view
of the museum's popular Eight Flags Gallery.
