About Us :
McClellanville, a small picturesque village, was established in the mid-1800's on Jeremy Creek. It is situated amongst the tall pines, palmettos, and live oaks that line this tidal creek which opens onto a great sweep of salt marsh and flows into the intracoastal waterway.
The land on which the village was built was formerly two tracts, that of A.J. McClellan and Mr. Matthews. The Matthews tract was bought by R. T. Morrison, whose main residence was Laurel Hill plantation, four miles to the south. Both men soon sold lots on the creek to planters of the South Santee region and the village soon emerged.
McClellanville today is a self-sufficient community of schools, homes, churches, shops, and docking facilities with an economy largely dependant upon the sea. It has undergone a massive renovation since Hurricane Hugo struck in 1989, and the friendly people of McClellanville welcome you to tour this site and the village.
