After the Civil War, most of the abandoned land along the ocean was purchased by the Conway Lumber Company, employees would head to the beach on their weekends off since the area was so beautiful. This was of course before any of the http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com websites became popular.
Then a man named Franklin Burroughs felt that this part of South Carolina, known as "New Town" could rival Coney Island. He didn't live to see it happen, but his sons continued on and as more and more people began to head to the shores to the earlier versions of hotels, cottages, then resorts started to be build resulting in places like www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com; a destination for beaches, water fun and golf, in 1957 Burrough's wife suggested naming the town after a popular flower, the wax myrtle.
As the location became more popular, golfers discovered the climate was a great place for them to play year round, which makes sense considering some of the golf packages that are being offered. So what started out as a place for lumber workers to spend their free time has now become a part of our country where golfers and their family flock year round.
