Old Town Brunswick Historic District

Imagine the year 1771, walking the street plan of grids and squares copied after Oglethorpe's Savannah plan. The city was named Brunswick to honor the royal duchy of Bransweig-Lunenbureg, Germany, home of the Hanoverian kings of England. The loyalists of Brunswick did not change the names of their streets after the Revolutionary war so names like Prince, Newcastle, London & Gloucester are still to be seen. Pick up a guide book for a walking or driving tour and explore the oak-shaded streets of Old Town. Guide books are available at Old City Hall, 1229 Newcastle Street.
