Often referred to as Charleston’s “Black Beach,” Mosquito Beach has a history that long predates the that moniker which was most prevalent during the “Jim Crow” days.<\/p>\n
The history of Mosquito Beach is about families, land, hard work, entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, safety, justice, and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, the Historic Charleston Foundation has created a rich online resource to share this inspiring history and it is well worth a visit, especially given the current efforts by the Mosquito Beach community to renovate, rejuvenate and preserve this African-American community and landmark.<\/p>\n
The site includes extensive historical information covering hundreds of years, as well as oral history video interviews with local families discussing history and the future.<\/p>\n
