Waccamaw Neck vs Inland Horry

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

Coastal tourism Horry and inland Conway country are different research problems.

Do not treat “Horry” as one documentary culture. Inland Conway and farming communities leave different trails than Waccamaw Neck / beach-tourism corridors. Choose the right newspaper market and church network for the decade you are studying.
