The Lowcountry does not contain any major economic centers; though one might select Hilton Head Island, as the place of most
significance, it is difficult to access from the rest of the Low Country and as a resort community has little else of commercial
significance. Most business that cannot be conducted locally is transacted in Charleston or Savannah, Georgia.
Other significant centers in the region include Beaufort, Hampton, and Walterboro, Bluffton and Hardeeville, and Ridgeland.
Bluffton and Hardeeville are two fast-growing communities that will contribute more economically in the future.
The region contains its share of culture and history. Notable is the Gullah influence on St. Helena Island, and the early
European Settlements near Beaufort.
