The Hammocks at Cane Bay: History of Summerville

Learning about Your Hometown
The first settlement in Summerville began after the American Revolution by plantation owners trying to escape the swamp fever and seasonal insects. These owners, as part of South Carolina state history, originally wanted a reprieve from the other side of the Lowcountry and they found it in the Summerville area. This town was started as a way to get away from the heat and salty air found closer to the water as well as the hectic lifestyle surrounding the harbor and the port. The tall trees and lakes make it a popular spot for camping and fishing. Summerville not only has modern business growth but visitors can take a stroll through the historic side of the downtown area and be transported back in time. Crescent Homes offers new homes for sale of varied sizes and styles and included features that go well beyond the standard. The Hammocks at Cane Bay Plantation offers one and two story floor plans ranging from 1686 - 3100 square feet with 3-6 bedrooms, 2-3 Car Garage.

Since 1847, Summerville has been a place for southern hospitality to flourish and be passed on to generations to come.
