Bluffton Info
INTRODUCTION
Bluffton is located on the Atlantic Coast near the southeastern end of South Carolina in Beaufort County. As part of an area referred to as the Lowcountry (the low-lying area or the coastal plains of Georgia and South Carolina), Bluffton is 23 miles north of Savannah, GA and about 100 miles south of Charleston, SC. Its closest neighbor is Hilton Head Island, just over the bridge on U.S. 278. Bluffton, an area covering 34 square miles, derives its name from an advantageous position on a scenic bluff above the May River. Along with Hilton Head and Beaufort, it is part of the Treasured Coast of South Carolina.
As you enter Bluffton on Highway 46, you are greeted by a sign that quickly introduces you to the town:
"Settled in 1825 as a summer resort of rice and cotton planters, this town was incorporated in 1852. Here in 1842 was launched the protest against the federal tariff known as the Bluffton movement."
This hints at a colorful and important past, made apparent by the historic buildings and churches, antebellum homes, and antique shops located in the National Register Historic District. Amenities that are more contemporary include a growing number of residential communities offering fertile landscapes that embrace the area’s golf courses and homes.
