Though Native Americans inhabited the Island for thousands of years prior, Fripp Island was first discovered by Europeans in the early 17th century. Fripp Island was named for the British Captain Johannes Fripp, charged with protecting Carolina from Spanish attacks throughout the mid-17th century.
A small causeway crossing Johnson Creek connects Harbor Island with Hunting Island towards the south. Development on Harbor Island remained scarce until The Fripp Company (developers of nearby Fripp Island) purchased the majority of land on the island and developed a gated residential and resort community.
