Hilton Head Island was named for Captain William Hilton, who identified the headland near the entrance to Port Royal Sound in 1663. Native Americans seasonally occupied the island along with European exploration over the years and the Sea Island Cotton trade activities. Hilton Head was the base of operations for the Union blockade of southern ports during the Civil War. Thousands of freed slaves flocked to Hilton Head when it fell to the Union forces.

Today, descendants of the former slaves, known as the Gullah or Geechee, still live on the island and retain their cultural heritage and ethnic identity. The town was incorporated in 1983 and is very careful to ensure eco-friendly development to conform buildings to the surrounding trees, preserving the island’s tree cover. It is notable that 70% of Hilton Head is within a gated community! The town maintains numerous access points to the public beaches to provide enjoyment of its beautiful beaches to all.
