1881: The Burroughs & Collins Company (a timber business) bought large tracts of land along the coast.
1900: The Seaside Inn, Myrtle Beach’s first hotel, opened.
1901: The railroad reached the coast, making travel easier and sparking interest in seaside tourism.
🌊 Name & Incorporation
Originally called "New Town", it was renamed Myrtle Beach in 1907 after the wax myrtle, a native shrub.
1938: Officially incorporated as a town.
1957: Became a city.
🌆 Tourism & Expansion (Mid-1900s)
