Beaufort
 |
Beaufort, a picturesque seaport located on Port Royal Island, is the second oldest city in South Carolina. Beaufort is the seat of Beaufort County. Before the Civil War, growing Sea Island Cotton brought great wealth to Beaufort’s planters. During the Civil War, the Union army occupied the city, leaving many grand homes and plantations untouched. Today, the military, tourism and film making contribute to Beaufort's economy. |
