The Town of Bluffton was established in 1852, has a population of 39,000 and an area of 54 square miles. Bluffton is actually the Gateway to Hilton Head since all automobile traffic must pass through Bluffton to access the J. Wilton Graves bridge connecting the mainland to the island. Bluffton started to experience a development boom in the 1980's when Hilton Head restricted its development, and it is still going strong today. With numberous hotels, restaurants and shopping areas, today's Bluffton is an ideal place to live or visit. With the Atlantic Ocean minutes away and the many recreational opportunities the inland waterways offer, it is easy to see why Bluffton is the fastest growing area in South Carolina.
