Colonels Island is a remote inhabited island in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1][2] It was named for all the colonels who established plantations on it.[3]

Part of Liberty County, Georgia, Colonels Island was home to Colonel Alexander Herron's plantation, called "Herron's Point".[3] The island was originally known as Bermuda Island and reportedly had many people from Bermuda, but many died of malaria and the rest fled.[3]
