HISTORY<br />

dISCover bLuffton<br />

Situated on a high bluff overlooking the May River, Bluffton was settled<br />

in 1825 as a summer resort for rice and cotton planters. It was a<br />

hot-bed for political rhetoric in the early 1840s and 1850s. Debate<br />

around secession was first given serious consideration in Bluffton.<br />

In June 1863 during the Civil War, Union soldiers attacked and<br />

burned Bluffton.<br />
