Edisto Island SC Real Estate - Page 13

Edisto Island's rich history ties it to its present. Purchased from the Edistow Indians by the Lord Proprietors in 1674, the English began searching for a crop that could be successfully cultivated on the island. By the early 1800s, Sea Island Cotton, the king of all cottons, flourished in the rich, fertile soil. During this period known as Edistos Golden Age, the planters flourished, too. The elegant homes and plantations remaining, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, are reminders of that affluent age.

Today Edisto Island features a laid back family atmosphere, with shrimping, crabbing, fishing, biking, sailing, boating, skiing, and beach walks filled with watching pelicans and porpoises. Tranquil mornings of sunshine and sandcastles; lazy afternoons napping in hammocks; and late afternoon strolls along the shore of the Atlantic are also a part of the way of life at Edisto Island.

The Edisto Island community includes historic plantations, large state and county parks, condominiums, and a variety of home styles that reflect its commitment to moderate, well-planned growth focused on retaining the island experience.

With Edisto Island's emphasis on outdoor recreation, the Edisto Beach State Park opened about 60 years ago, putting the island on the map of summer attractions. Today the park includes beach- and marsh-side camping, cabins and a boat ramp and dock.
