Delivery of Fresh Flowers to Saint Helena Island, SC

St. Helena Island is located in Beaufort County and is a sea island connected to Beaufort by the United States Highway 21. One of the Hilton Head Island-Beaufort megalopolis areas is an important African-American Gullah language and culture center. The island is a geographic inspiration behind Gullah Gullah Island, a television program for children. St. Helena was first explored by Lucas Vazquez de Ayllon, a Spanish explorer, and he was the first European to explore the island as part of the colonization and Spanish exploration. The deepwater Santa Elena was known as the center of the area and the capital of La Florida, the Spanish colony. The island was likened to a region of West Africa that grows rice, and as a result, captured slaves were brought there, from Sierra Leone. These slaves, indentured servants, and Native Americans cultivated indigo, rice, spices, and cotton. As a result, Gullah Culture was produced because of the mix of cultures and bonding. When the Civil War began, Lincoln called for a blockade of Confederate ports, and Port Royal was one of the important ports in which Beaufort was defended as a result, the islands fell into the hands of the Union. A great achievement in this was the achievement of Penn School to educate them. Another was grants of land given to families. Saint Helena Island bred the Negro saying "Michael Row the Boat Ashore" when Leigh Richard Miner photographed the island and published his book.

The Sea Islands Hurricane, which killed many people, also influenced St. Helena Island. The island became one of the poorest in the United States for a long time after the economic destruction of the hurricane. The development and booming economy of neighboring islands, including Dataw Island, Harbor Island, and Fripp Island, improved St. Helena Island but also had negative effects on the island, including the development pressures that threatened its rural nature. Although, efforts were made to make sure the island still has its cultural, rural, and historical nature. The Knights of Wise Men Lodge and Indian Hill Site are on the National Register of Historic Places lists. The island has a public library which is a part of the Beaufort County Library.
