History & Context
Holden Beach History Holden Beach is a small coastal town in Brunswick County, North Carolina, United States. It was originally inhabited by Native Americans, specifically the Waccamaw and Cape Fear tribes, who fished and hunted in the area. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, European settlers began to arrive and establish plantations along the coast, including in the Holden Beach area. However, by the mid-1800s, many of these plantations had been abandoned due to poor soil quality and the prevalence of malaria. In the early 1900s, a man named Benjamin Holden purchased land on the island with the intention of turning it into a beach resort. He built a pavilion and began promoting the area as a vacation destination. The town was officially incorporated in 1969 and named after Holden. Today, Holden Beach is primarily known as a family-friendly vacation spot with a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. It is also home to the Holden Beach Turtle Patrol, a group of volunteers who monitor and protect sea turtle nests on the island.
