History & History Related Items Myrtle Beach history: The name of Myrtle Beach comes from the Wax Myrtle, a common shrub in the area. It is believed that a group of Spaniards from Hispaniola came to the area in about 1526 about 50 miles north of the Myrtle Beach present boundaries. Their first European settlement in the USA, San Miguel de Cauldape, was about 30 miles to the south of here. It was short-lived as it was abandoned about a year later when the group returned to Hispaniola. The area grew slowly for many hundreds of years, with large plantations sprouting up, mainly to grow crops of rice. The area began to be a vacation place near the end of the 19th century and into the early 1900's. Even though few permanent homes were built, the beauty of the area and the drawing card of the ocean and sand brought more new residents. Here is a history page for the area.
