A Brief History of Myrtle Beach and the how it's grown

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a coastal gem with a rich history dating back centuries. Once home to the Waccamaw and Winyah Native American tribes, the area later saw European exploration and settlement in the 17th century. Though initially a hub for timber through Franklin Burroughs' vision in the late 19th century, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that Myrtle Beach blossomed into a sought-after vacation destination.

The completion of the Intracoastal Waterway and post-World War II developments spurred tourism, leading to the vibrant Grand Strand we know today. With stunning beaches, world-class golf courses, family attractions, and a thriving hospitality scene, Myrtle Beach has become one of the top vacation spots in the U.S.
