History

PRP has a rich history, having been a central location on Hilton Head Island for many years before the area was developed into a residential community. Originally, this area was used by Native Americans as a fruitful hunting and fishing grounds for hundreds of years. The first European explorers to the area were Spanish Captain Pedro de Quexos, who first spotted the bluffs of what is now PRP in 1521, and English Captain William Hilton, who claimed the land in 1663. Captain Hilton is the namesake of HHI.

The present-day PR Plantation was occupied by Confederate Forces at the start of the Civil War, but in the Battle of Port Royal, the Forces were defeated. After this battle in 1861, 13,000 Union troops took control of HHI. A small town was quickly developed on the island to complement the military presence. During this time, many businesses, including restaurants, stores, and saloons were located in a small city center, and enjoyed prosperous years.

The plans to develop PR Plantation included a firm emphasis on preserving the natural beauty of the land. Throughout the decades, PRP saw many changes in plans, and many tumultuous years. However, in the 80’s, the number of homes on the Plantation more than doubled. Homes became bigger and more elaborate. Since then, PRP has steadily matured. Under a framework of conservative development, with conservation and preservation in mind, the Plantation developed a unique character, while providing members with security and a well-maintained community.Port Royal Plantation Homes Search
