Murrells Inlet, SC

Last Updated on March 27, 2021 by Kathy Rukat Smith

Murrells Inlet, the “quaint fishing village”, is rooted in history and ghost stories. The town was officially named Murrells Inlet is 1913 by the post office, but the history goes back hundreds of year. Legend has it that Blackbeard roamed around the land that is now Murrells Inlet and buried some treasure here! Our tidal creeks were also a great hiding spot for pirates waiting to attack English ships.

In the 1800s, the fertile soil Murrells Inlet was filled with rice plantations. Those rice plantations were the main source of business for Murrells Inlet until the early 1900s. As with most of America, the economy of Murrells Inlet suffered during The Great Depression. An economic boom came during the Depression when Archer Milton Huntington developed his 9,000 acre estate – his estate ran from the ocean to the rivers. Today, the home, Atalaya, is part of the Huntington Beach State Park, and the gardens created Brookgreen Gardens.
