The Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette cover each of the communities in Beaufort County and several in Jasper. This includes the historic town of Beaufort, famous for its importance both in the Revolutionary and Civil wars. Bluffton is one of the fastest growing communities on the East Coast and Hilton Head Island is home to full and part-time residents, opulent golf courses and world-class resorts and restaurants. The history of the region is part of its charm as antebellum mansions line the Lowcountry coastal habitat, rich with aquaculture including shrimping, oyster farming and sport fishing.
