Beaufort District/County
History
In the Carolina Low
Country, Beaufort District was formed in 1769 as one of seven original
judicial districts. In 1785, Beaufort District was divided into four
counties: Granville, Hilton,
Lincoln and Shrewsbury. These counties
never became functional, and in 1798 these counties were abolished. In
1868, Beaufort District was designated Beaufort County. Its county seat,
the town of Beaufort, is on US-21, about 40 miles northwest of Savannah,
GA and 110 miles south of Columbia. Since the Civil War, the Marines
have used Beaufort County's Parris Island as a training base. Beaufort County is bordered by the
Atlantic Ocean, the South Carolina counties of Jasper and
Colleton, and
the Georgia county of Chatham.
