The City of Yulee is close to Route A1A; it generally borders the Florida/Georgia boundary to the north, Duval County to the south, I-95 to the west and Nassauville, one mile from Amelia Island. Yulee is a gateway to Amelia Island, metropolitan Jacksonville, the Jacksonville International Airport, and Georgia's King's Bay Naval Base.
Nassau County's largest unincorporated area consists primarily of residential neighborhoods along with commercial development along Route A1A.
Named in 1893 for Senator David Yulee, first U.S. Senator from Florida and co-founder of the Florida Railroad Company, which operated the first railroad across the state east to west from Fernandina Beach to Cedar Key.
