ABOUT HORRY COUNTY

Horry County covers over 1130 square miles, making it the largest of South Carolina’s 46 counties. The vast Horry County landscape includes forests, fields, farms, marshes, swamps, the famed “black water” rivers, and miles of unspoiled coastline. In 1785, the area became a full political subdivision when the Georgetown district was divided into four separate counties. It is named after South Carolina native and Revolutionary War hero, Peter Horry.
