Waccamaw Neck Communities

Edited by Avery Parker for South Carolina Genealogy · Georgetown County topic · Last reviewed July 11, 2026 · How we work & cite

Separate Georgetown town/port research from Waccamaw Neck plantation and free communities. River names and plantation labels dominate antebellum sources; later directories densify the town.
