About Edisto Island
"Edisto is such a unique island that it is only 45 minutes to Charleston, S.C. and 90 minutes to Hilton Head Island ... you feel as if you have stepped back in time when you arrive on the island. My wonderful memories of growing up on Edisto prompted my husband, Jerome, and I to want to raise our son, Jon here. Edisto has a "laid back" family atmosphere with no high rises, no traffic lights, no hotels or motels! Just lots of beach with shrimping, crabbing, fishing, biking, sailing, boating, skiing, beach walking or just lazy afternoons watching the pelicans and porpoises in the surf..as the sun slips below the horizon..take a step back in time and ponder:
Does the sound of the sea end at the shore or in the hearts of those who listen to it? (author unknown)

Edisto Island's historical legacy began with the imprint of the Edistow Indians-it's first known occupants. The Spanish arrived in the 1500's, followed by English settlers in the 1600's. The English remained, first living off the sea, then cultivating money crops of rice and indigo. By 1790, planters turned to a long staple cotton, known as Sea Island cotton-one of the finest cottons ever produced. It was this crop that brought the great wealth to Edisto Islanders. Many of the elegant houses and plantations remaining today are reminders of that affluent age. These sites are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. These private homes are put on tour once a year by the Edisto Island Historic Preservation Society. Look a Pictoral about Edisto.
