History

Palmetto Bluff has a rich history, dating back to 10,000 B.C., the oldest date of artifacts found here. Native Americans are known to have harvested oysters in the May River and archaeologists continue to find evidence of their presence on the land.

After changing hands several times through the 1800’s, the land was sold in 1937 for its timber reserves, but was instead turned into a conservation area. The owners designed a plan for the land that can be credited for the track’s continued conservation to this day.
