Named after Revolutionary
War Hero, General "Mad" Anthony B. Wayne, is located near
the old Post Road which is the dividing line between the counties of
Brantley and Glynn. In early pioneer days Waynesville was a refuge
for many weary stage coach traveler. It was also an in-land
sanctuary for the coastal island plantation families. There is no
wonder that it was selected as the first county site for Wayne
County in 1829.
