In the 1500s and 1600s, Spanish missions were primarily established in the southeastern part of what is now the United States, including present-day Georgia. The missions were primarily located in the coastal areas and along the rivers.
In modern terms, the area where the Spanish built missions in Georgia would primarily include the coastal region of the state, particularly around the barrier islands such as Cumberland Island and Jekyll Island, as well as further inland along the Altamaha River and in parts of the southeastern region of the state.
This region was significant for the Spanish as they sought to convert Indigenous populations to Christianity and establish Spanish presence in North America.
