Homes for Sale in Horry County South Carolina

Horry County South Carolina

Home to some 290,000 residents, Horry County is home to Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. Pronounced “O’Ree”, Horry County’s beginnings date back to 1801. Back then, the area was more isolated than it is now due to all the rivers and swamps. This led to a more independent lifestyle among those who lived here, as they had virtually no assistance from the outside world. This independent life led to the name “The Independent Republic of Horry”, in honor of Peter Horry, who was a hero of the Revolutionary War.

Today, Horry County has grown to be a worldwide destination for vacations and retirees. The Myrtle Beach area, along with the surrounding cities, offers nearly endless options for recreation and entertainment. Myrtle Beach is famous for its condo resorts that line the shore, offering visitors and residents amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean.
