The families of rice planters who owned plantations on nearby rivers first settled Pawleys Island in the early 1700s. The planters knew it was unhealthy for their families to remain on the rivers during the summer, and that the seashore was much healthier.
  
Even though they didn't know about malaria in the 1700s, they knew enough to get away! They moved their families, horses, cows, bedding, provisions, and furniture to Pawleys in May of each year, where they remained until the first frost in November. From this leisurely existence developed the charm of Pawleys that still remains.
   
Today, more and more visitors who have discovered the peaceful pace and quiet dignity of Pawleys Island are returning to stay. Some of the most intriguing neighborhoods, single homes and home sites can be found just off the beaten path throughout the county.
