James island
During the 19th century, plantations were built on James Island, along with the village of Secessionville, a summer retreat for plantation owners. The Civil War began on James Island on the morning of April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces at Fort Johnson fired on Union-occupied Fort Sumter. Both forts were located on the island's northern shore. Fort Sumter can now be accessed via ferry from the Charleston Aquarium. Fort Johnson, now home to several maritime research agencies, also has public hiking trails and fishing access, and houses the Hollings Marine Laboratory.
Now James Island is a more urbanized community, laced by tidal creeks and surrounded by rivers and waterways, the island offers a large variety of waterfront lots, and newly developed neighborhoods that overlook Wadmalaw Sound and the Kiawah and Stono rivers. Situated between downtown Charleston and Folly Beach, James Island offers you the best of both worlds with quick access to area golf courses, the equestrian center, Kiawah Island and Seabrook Islands. Families can choose from a number of recreational opportunities, including those available at the popular James Island County Park. This incredible 643-acre park offers biking, nature trails, a climbing wall, an elaborate playground, pedal boats, kayaking, 16 acres of lagoons, fishing and crabbing dock, and picnic areas. Splash Zone, located inside the park, is a well-rounded water playground offering two 200-foot tube slides, a 500-foot lazy river, a leisure pool, and a Caribbean play structure with interactive elements. James Island County Park is also host to the Holiday Festival of Lights, a local favorite attraction that begins on Thanksgiving and runs through the New Year celebration.
