A Short History of the Isle of Palms
The first inhabitants of the area were the Seewee Indians, followed by the first group of English settlers. In 1899, businessman J.S Lawrence purchased the island and renamed it to Isle of Palms, mainly because of its beautiful surroundings and cool climate. In the mid-1940’s, a developer built roads and affordable housing, which attracted several World War II veterans coming back home. Around the 1970’s, many wealthy residents began purchasing real estate here.
