Wymberley Tract, on Isle of Hope near Savannah, Georgia, is a part of the Wormsloe Plantation granted to Noble Jones in 1756. It was inherited by his son, Noble Wimberly Jones. Wimberly (original spelling) Tract appeared as a separate name for part of Wormsloe around 1808. In 1888, Colonel John H. Estill purchased several parcels of the tract and built his residence there. In 1909, the property was purchased by Judge George W. Tiedeman who built a mansion on the site, Carsten Hall, which burned down in 1933. In 1940, William B. Flinn of New York acquired the property to use as a docking station for milling and transporting timber harvested from Skidaway Island. Finally, in 1946, the property was purchased by James S. Richmond who named the tract 'Wymberley" and subdivided the tract for residential homes and a park.
