Amelia Island, the only inhabited island in Nassau County, is famous for its Live Oak trees. Legend has it that a woman named Kate Bailey and her husband built a Queen Anne house in 1895 and when Kate heard that the city was to axe down her favorite Live Oak that stood in the street in front of her home, she stood on her veranda, shotgun in hand to protect the tree. The tree, named “Kate’s tree” is still standing today.
