Visitor | Jamestown

This historic French Huguenot settlement on the Santee River was founded in 1685, although the town was not officially incorporated until 1957. The French Huguenots, known to be peaceful, industrious people, served God faithfully. They sold indigo, rice, turpentine and pitch. The region surrounding Jamestown later became known as French Santee. Jamestown prides itself on the strong Huguenot influence, faith and valor which became a rich part of the area's culture.

Now home of the infamous Hell Hole Swamp Festival, Jamestown residents enjoy their quaint little town.
