MYRTLE BEACH

Myrtle Beach was incorporated in 1938 and became a city in 1957, when the permanent population first topped 5,000. The name "Myrtle Beach" comes from the wax myrtle, an abundant local shrub, and was chosen in a name-the-town contest in 1900. Myrtle Beach has been separated from the continental United States since 1936 by the Intracoastal Waterway...
