Historical Information on the Island.

​

In 2000 B.C. Indians of the Late Archaic Period of prehistory (oyster shell and earthenware pottery fragments identified) 500 A.D. Indians of the Woodland Period of prehistory (stains, pottery fragments and flint flakes identified) 1100-1300 Indians of the Mississippian Period of prehistory (oyster shell, deer bones and pottery fragments identified) 1800's Seabrook Plantation Era was a time when sea island cotton was grown. A tabby (a concrete-like mortar made of lime, sand and crushed oyster shells) block formation is now at the base of the Ribaut Dr./Charlesfort Place sign. This is a ruin of a workers' home found on Seabrook Landing during development. During the Civil War (1861-1865), Seabrook Landing was a probable lookout post for Union and/or Confederate troops.

 

The flags of six sovereign nations have flown over Seabrook Landing. History and intrigue abound with tales of forts and fights commonplace in the more than 400 years of its recorded history. Prior to that time, Indians roamed the island and its environs, following the seasons and the bountiful harvests of Port Royal Sound and the islands which surround it. Port Royal Sound provides the deepest natural harbor of the Southern Atlantic Coast.

​

Fort Mitchel (1862-1864)

A Union Civil War Fort was established in 1862 on Hilton Head Island, Beaufort County, South Carolina. First named Fort Gillmore after its designer and Chief Engineer at Hilton Head, Captain Quincy A. Gillmore, (Cullum 1407), it was renamed Fort Mitchel after Major General Ormsby M. Mitchel, (Cullum 555), who died of yellow fever on October 30, 1862. The fort was abandoned in 1864.

​

History of Fort Mitchel

Established by Union forces soon after the capture of Hilton Head Island on November 7, 1861. It was originally built as a small earthen lunette with two faces forming a salient angle, two flanking sides and open at the rear. A central bomb-proof structure provided protection for the troops and supplies.

​

Fort Mitchel Display Cannon Emplacement

Fort Mitchel was positioned on the northwest side of Hilton Head Island to control Skull Creek and protect the U.S. Navy Seabrook Landing coaling station. Skull Creek separates Hilton Head Island from the mainland.

​

The fort was designed to mount five or six guns on a bluff above Skull Creek. The cannons were positioned so that three of them pointed downstream, one was positioned to fire directly across the creek toward Bull Point, and two were pointed upstream toward Port Royal Sound.

​

Advancing gun technology and the use of ironclad ships rendered the battery ineffective by 1864 and the attending garrison was redeployed that year.
