Regardless of it's origin, Murrells Inlet has a past blessed and graced with footprints of Native American tribes, 16th century Spanish explorers and Englist colonists in the 17th century. In the 1700's and 1800's the land was divided into large tracts and cultivated into rice plantations. By 1850, almost 47 million pounds of rice were produced in the Waccamaw Neck. Also, in the 1800's, pirates sailed our coastline and hid in the Inlet's winding creeks, awaiting to plunder England bound ships. Rumors have it, "Blackbeard" made have tread out salty waters!
People summered in Murrells Inlet in the 1800s and generally traveled to Conway or Georgetown by train and then picked up a steamboat from there. Steamboats were said to serve the finest of meals, over the years many steamboat cooks settled in Murrells Inlet and opened their own restaurants.
The Civil War came to Murrells Inlet's shores in 1863. Union warships attacked Confederate blockade-runners that used the inlet as a port to sneak cotton and other products to England in exchange for war materials. Though some rice plantations partially recovered the war, they could not survive the devastating hurricanes that followed and by 1916 the last remaining commercial rice grower was out of business.
At the height of the Great depression, Murrells Inlet's economy was spurred when Archer and Anna Huntington spent millions to develop their 9000-acre homestead at what is now Huntington State Park. This tremendous project spurred the Murrells Inlet economy thru the depression with the hiring of skills of all types. The Huntingtons home when finished had 22 fireplaces and 36 rooms, one of which was an oyster shucking room.
Names of local streets and neighborhoods are reminiscent of the people, plantations and cottages of yesteryear: Hermitage, Sunnyside, Vaux hall and Wachesaw are but a few of the nostalgic familiarities that make Murrells Inlet the quaint seaside community it is today
