Catholic Hill
Settlers from Ireland of the Roman Catholic faith in this area helped form the ecclesiastical territory of Colleton, Beaufort, and Barnwell Districts under Bishop John England in 1831. The Church of St. James the Greater was dedicated on this site on December 10, 1832, and remained in use until destroyed by fire on April 12, 1856.
