Discover Folkston
Folkston was founded on August 19, 1911, and named for physician William Brandon Folks. Between 1925 and 1927 residents built many new homes and several brick buildings, including a courthouse. For years it called itself the "Marriage Capital of the World," as Floridians crossed the line to marry without their state's waiting period. A bridge over the CSX and Jesup rail junction was built in 1996.
