McClellanville, along with Awendaw and
the surrounding area, is located in The Cape Romain
community. Situated between Charleston and Georgetown
in Charleston County, South Carolina, it is surrounded
by the 350,000 acres of The Cape Romain Wildlife
Refuge, The Francis Marion National Forest, and the

The community was originally founded by rice planters
after their summer colony at the mouth of the Santee
River was destroyed by the hurricane of 1822. Several
years later the town became a year-round home to the
descendants of planters. Today, the principal economic
activity is commercial fishing. McClellanville, located
on Jeremy Creek, is home port to a large fleet of
