Old Jamestown
After receiving a proprietary landgrant of 370 acres in 1705. French settlers laid out the town of Jamestown, c. 2 mi. N. By 1706, a church had been built known as the parish church of St. James, Santee. Jamestown never prospered and a number of settlers left before the Revolution, moving to the nearby parishes of St. Stephen's and St. John's, Berkeley.
Marker is at the intersection of French Santee Road (State Road 45) and Mt. Moriah Avenue, on the left when traveling south on French Santee Road.
