We are now in Georgetown SC, one of the oldest seaports in the USA. The recorded history of Georgetown goes back to 1526. It is generally believed that the Spanish established an outpost on Winyah Bay. This would have been the first European settlement on the North American mainland. The first permanent settlers were the English who established a trading post with the Indians on the Black River by 1710.
More to follow when we get the opportunity to survey the countryside..
