===Neptune Park===
Neptune Park includes the Neptune Park Fun Zone and is in the "village" area and adjacent to the pier. Neptune Park was named after Neptune Small, a man enslaved by Retreat Plantation owner Henry King. King and his brothers fought for the Confederacy in the [[American Civil War]], with Small going with him. King was killed at the [[Battle of Fredericksburg]]. When night fell and King had not returned from the battlefield, Small went to look for him. Small found King's body and personally brought it back from Virginia to St. Simons for burial (at Christ Church). Legend has it that the King family gave Neptune Small 8 acres of their plantation, part of which is now Neptune Park.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/neptune-small-1831-1907|title=Neptune Small (1831-1907)|website=New Georgia Encyclopedia}}</ref>  However, there is no evidence of Small owning that area or of the King family giving him any land. He did own several acres of land a little west of the current Neptune Park.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/local_news/a-new-twist-in-neptune-smalls-story/article_f50ba7a9-0290-5c45-8e50-a2a2cabd3452.html|title=A new twist in Neptune Small's story|website=The Brunswick News|date=June 23, 2018 }}</ref>

Born into slavery in 1831, Neptune accompanied one of the King sons, Henry Lord Page King, as manservant when he enlisted in the Confederate Army. During the battle of Fredericksburg in 1862, Captain King was killed. When night fell, Neptune retrieved King's body and brought it home for burial in the family burial ground at Christ Church, Frederica, St. Simons. Although he could have chosen to remain at home, Neptune returned to the war as a manservant to the youngest King son, R. Guyler King. After the war the King family gave this portion of Retreat Plantation to Neptune who, as a freedman, had chosen "Small" as his last name for his slight stature. Neptune died in 1907 and is buried in the Retreat burial ground. This marker and live oak tree are given and dedicated by Sea Island Company to his memory.</ref>
