Medicare Help in Johns Island, SC

About Johns Island

Johns Island is the largest island in South Carolina, at 84 square miles, and the fourth-largest on the U.S. East Coast. It is named for Saint John Parish in Barbados, home of its first English settlers. The Stono Rebellion began here on September 9, 1739. Civil rights leader Esau Jenkins founded The Progressive Club on River Road in 1948, and its clubhouse is on the National Register of Historic Places. The island is a mix of farms, Gullah Geechee communities and fast-growing neighborhoods.
