The land on which the village was built was formerly two tracts, that of  A.J. McClellan and Mr. Matthews.  The Matthews tract was bought by R.T. Morrison, whose main residence was Laurel Hill plantation, four miles to the south.  Both men soon sold lots on the creek to planters of the South Santee region and the village soon emerged.  McClellanville the village was founded by rice planters after their summer colony at the mouth of the Santee River was destroyed by the hurricane of 1822. Several years later the village became a year-round home to the descendants of planters.
