Hilton's Headland History

Hilton's Headland was the original name given by Captain William Hilton to the island now known as Hilton Head Island. The island was so named in honor of Hilton himself, who discovered it during his explorations of the coast of the new Carolina colony in 1663.

At the time of Hilton's discovery, the island was largely undeveloped and inhabited by the native Yemassee tribe, who used it as a hunting ground. However, European settlers soon established plantations on the island to grow crops such as cotton, indigo, and rice. These plantations relied heavily on the labor of enslaved Africans, who were brought to the island to work in the fields.
