Coastal South Carolina was among the first places in the New World to be settled. Following the Civil War, as the plantations were broken up into many small farms and the city of Charleston expanded, a search began for a nearby, new source of fresh water to replace water from contaminated wells. Among the plantations in the Charleston District, part of which was to become Berkeley County, were four overlapping the area that was later to be established as the city of Hanahan.
Military installations and housing, thriving businesses, and schools began to meet the needs of the developing community. That search led to Goose Creek, where, in 1903, a dam was built and a pumping station established, named Hanahan for the chairman of the Charleston Water Commission. Hanahan would grow over the years and incorporate into a city in 1973, known for its beautiful landscape and community culture.
