Historical Background of the Old Village
The Old Village, established in 1803 by James Hibben, is the heart of Mount Pleasant. It features a grid pattern of streets lined with historic homes, local shops, and eateries, all beneath draping Spanish moss. Originally serving as a summer retreat for wealthy Charlestonians in the post-Civil War era, the area offered respite from the heat of the peninsula, thanks to the eastern breezes from the Cooper River. Over time, the Old Village flourished, becoming the epicenter of Mount Pleasant.
The Pitt Street Stroll is a wonderful opportunity to experience the blend of art, history, and community that defines the Old Village. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, this event promises an evening of cultural enrichment and community engagement.
