The written history of the Beaufort area begins with the Spanish captain Pedro de Salazar, who explored it between 1514 and 1516, and the nearby Spanish colony of Santa Elena was already struggling by 1566. The Lowcountry saw many European explorations and failed attempts at colonization before British colonists founded Beaufort in 1711, naming it for Henry Somerset, 2nd Duke of Beaufort. The town grew slowly at first because of attacks by Native American tribes and threats from the Spanish to the south. It flourished first as a shipbuilding center and later, as the region became a slave society, as the elite center of the Lowcountry planters until the Civil War.
A few months after the war began, Union forces occupied Beaufort after the Battle of Port Royal. Because it was occupied so early, the town drew people escaping slavery, and the Union declared them emancipated and began efforts to educate them and prepare them for full independence. The Freedmen's Bureau worked with Black residents during Reconstruction. After the war Beaufort depended on phosphate mining, until a devastating hurricane in 1893 and a fire in 1907 caused widespread destruction and economic hardship that slowed its growth for nearly half a century. In the second half of the 20th century it became a popular tourist destination and benefited from the growth of nearby military installations, and local groups have worked to preserve its historic character and architecture.
