GEORGETOWN COUNTY, S.C. -- South Carolina's coastal Georgetown County, located along the Grand Strand approximately 60 miles north of Charleston, is a gem waiting to be discovered by visitors interested in stepping back in time and catching a glimpse of the rich history that helped define our country and distinguish the lifestyle of the South.
Although traces of the first inhabitants in Georgetown County date back more than 11,000 years, the first successful colonization did not take place until English planters and traders arrived by ship to "George Towne" in the 1700s to take over land granted to them by Prince George -- later King George II -- of England.
