Socastee is a Native American name
referred to as "Sawkastee" in a 1711 land grant to
Percival Pawley. A skirmish between small forces of
American and British troops occurred near Socastee Creek
in 1781. By the 1870s, the Socastee community was a
significant center for the production and distribution
of navel stores such as turpentine and tar. This area
included a saw mill, turpentine distilleries, cotton
gin, grist mill, cooper shop and general store. The
Socastee Historic District was listed in the National
Registry of Historic Places in 2002.
The Socastee Historic District,
located on the Intracoastal Waterway in Socastee, South
Carolina, was added to the National Register of Historic
Places in 2002.
It comprises a metal swing bridge, two houses, one store
and a pecan grove and is one of the few remaining intact
examples of post Civil War development. |
