A Brief History of Murrells Inlet

Though Murrells Inlet, South Carolina was not officially named Murrells Inlet until 1913, many believe the history of the little seaside town goes back way before the official naming.  During the 1700's & 1800's, the land known as Murrells Inlet, was flourished with rice plantations.  Circa 1863, The Civil War came to the shores of modern day Murrells Inlet causing a decline in the number of rice plantations.  By the early 1900's, Murrells Inlet switched from being known for rice plantations to commercial fishing.  The local fishermen in Murrells Inlet then expanded to include recreational fishing, and charged $5.00/person/a day for an excursion on 20-foot skiffs.  The oldest restaurant in Murrells Inlet is owned by the granddaughter of Captain Bill Oliver who piloted the boats into the fishing village.

During the Great Depression, Archer Milton Huntington from New York came to the area, spending millions of dollars developing his 9,000-acre homestead and gardens.  Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens was once part of his massive plantation.  Archer Huntington, stepson of Colis Huntington, was one of four men who built the Transcontinental Railroad.  Huntington also built a church, medical clinic and community center in the area, which helped to boost the struggling economy at the time.

The moment you turn right onto beachfront Waccamaw Avenue, you leave behind the congestion of Horry County and enter into a quiet, laid-back beach town with a mixture of old and new houses and no high rise condominiums.  Throughout Murrells Inlet, you will find condos, villas, town homes, luxury homes (including marshfront, beachfront, and waterfront), and single family homes, plenty within gated communities, overlooking golf courses and the Intra-Coastal Waterway.  One of these subdivisions, known as LinksBrook at Prince Creek, offers two single-family neighborhoods with homes that range from 1,398 to 2,715 square feet. and is near the charming fishing village of Murrells Inlet.  Prince Creek is a subdivision within Murrells Inlet located just off of Highway 707.  Prince Creek rests on the TPC course.  .  Wachesaw Plantataion is built on the site of a former rice plantation.  Marcliffe, a subdivision within Blackmoor, is the only Gary Player signature golf course within Murrells Inlet.  Grand Vista is located in Murrells Inlet, right on the edge of popular TPC golf course.    Wachesaw Plantation  is a gated neighborhood that offers an opportunity to own cottages, duplexes, condos, and single family residential homes.  The condos at Governors Landing in Wachesaw Plantation overlook the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway.
