This barrier island is rich in history starting with the Native American’s who originally called it “Chicora” which is a name that is still commonly used by the residents of town. The name Pawleys came from George Pawley who owned most of the island during the Colonial Period. During this time, the mainland would suffer swarms of mosquitoes that would come in from the river and spread diseases throughout the towns. Since the island was farther from the island, the mosquitoes would often avoid it, making it a refuge for the wealthy who would move to the island from roughly June, when the mosquitoes came until November when they would leave. When Pawley sold off parts of his secluded island to some planters who were looking for a place to live without the annoyance of the deadly mosquitoes, the name of the town was changed to honor him. It remains today, a popular mosquito free tourist town and summer home for many people.

Pawleys is known as an outdoor type of town. There are many things to do if you enjoy the outdoors but as far as sports teams and other activities, they are found in nearby Myrtle Beach through the Georgetown County Parks and Recreation.
