Saint Augustine Creek Explained

Saint Augustine Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is a tributary to the Savannah River.[1] It should not be confused with the original name of the Wilmington River on Georgia's coast.[2]

A variant name is "Augustine Creek". (Saint) Augustine Creek was named after Walter Augustine, an 18th-century landholder and proprietor of a sawmill along its course.
