History of The Bay
The name 'Tuckahoe' is a Native-American word that associates itself with plants, especially edible plants. The name 'Tuckahoe Bay' has an unknown origin, probably a name from a resident in Horry County. The first map to use the term was platted in October 1845 by Cornelius B. Sarvis. The plat included Socastee Swamp, and totaled an area of 5,760.
Tuckahoe Bay has been on several topography maps, including some dating back to 1938. An early aerial map taken by the Ocean Forest Company in the early 1930s shows what Carolina bays looked like also shows Tuckahoe Bay, when it was undisturbed. Even as current development is abundant around the area, the bay has remained untouched.
