Myrtle Beach was first inhabited by the Waccamaw Indians. They fished around all the rivers of the long bay. After the American Revolution, several families received land grants and settled in. For the most part though, Horry county was sparse with people. The Wither's family had settled here, and in 1822 a hurricane threw their entire house into the ocean killing all 18 people inside. The town became barren with people again. Then after the civil war, it became a weekend getaway for employees of the Conway lumber company, now known as Burroughs and Chapin. Mr. Burroughs suggested the name, after the wax myrtle plant that grew abundantly in the area. It became incorporated as a town in 1940.  With it's beautiful beaches, and overall great climate, Myrtle Beach continued to grow as a great tourist destination. Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas now welcome over ten million visitors every year. Some come because of the great golfing, it is considered the golf capital of the world. Most flock here because of the 60 miles of beautiful beaches. Today's visitor will have so many options of things to do while visiting Myrtle Beach, It's hard to fit it all in.
