Awendaw, South Carolina Real Estate

South Carolina oceanview homesAwendaw is a town in Charleston County, South Carolina, United States, with a population of around 1,200.

Awendaw was named by the Seewee Native American or "Sewee" tribe. It is also home to an oyster shell mound created by the Seewee Tribe. It is often referred to as "The Spanish Fort". Most of the mound is still intact. The rest of it was destroyed to construct roads and homes for the citizens of Awendaw. The town was heavily damaged by Hurricane Hugo in September 1989, but did not receive as significant damage in 2004 when Hurricane Gaston made landfall in the region. In 1992, the town of Awendaw was first incorporated and elected its first mayor.

To many Awendaw citizens crabbing is a hobby and one of the towns main economic resource. Every year in the summer the town has the Blue Crab Festival. It brings in money to the town, to use on its parks and to finish its water system that is under construction. It will not be completed until 2008.
