Old Jamestown

After receiving a proprietary landgrant of 370 acres in 1705, French settlers laid out the town of Jamestown about 2 miles north. 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.
