About

Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support over the last few years. For those who are wondering, my name is James Mabe and I am the host of Amelia Island History, The Podcast and the author of Amelia Island History on Facebook. 

​

Growing up in and around Fernandina has been one of the best decisions my family could have made. It provided a safe place to be raised and a wonderful place to call home, even to this day. Although some may find me young to be telling you the history of a place where records date back nearly over one-thousand years, I have always found myself fascinated with history. Visiting museums wherever I go and diving deep into all facets of historical life. 

​

Whilst being raised, my mother would have us watch The Waltons and it was then where I wanted to understand life predating mine. I hope you enjoy this series and I look forward to reading your notes. Sending my love,

​
