Located along the banks of the Altamaha River, Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation State Park offers a fascinating glimpse into coastal Georgia's 19th-century rice culture. Built in , Hofwyl-Broadfield once comprised more than 7, acres of rice fields worked by more than slaves obtained mostly from Africa's west coast. After the Civil War, African Americans who had lived at Hofwyl and other rice plantations along the Altamaha River — Hopeton, Elizafield, Grantly, New Hope and others — settled into small communities nearby while continuing to work, for pay, at the same jobs they had previously done as slaves.

Many of these communities had very descriptive names. Needwood, a nearby settlement, was so named for the shortage of "fat wood" for cooking fires.

A group of Igbo tribesman, captured and destined for slavery, rebelled as their boat neared shore. Led by an Igbo chieftain, the proud tribesmen marched into the waters of the creek, chanting an Igbo hymn and trusting in the protection of their God, Chukwu, rather than submit to slavery. Survivors were taken to Cannon's Point Plantation on St. Simons Island, and to Sapelo Island, where their story was recounted.
