General Information about Yemassee

This article is about a place called Yemassee. For the literary journal of the University of South Carolina, see Yemassee (journal).
Yemassee is a town in South Carolina, United States. The population was 807 at the 2000 census. Yemassee lies within both Beaufort County and Hampton County, but is also very near the borders of Colleton and Jasper counties. The town is divided by the county line between Beaufort and Hampton Counties, which follows the roadbed of the CSX railroad. Most of the town's population presently lies within Hampton County (as of 2006). The town is serviced by Interstate 95, U.S. 21 & U.S. 17A, and S.C. route 68. The site of the present town is surrounded by both Revolutionary and Civil War sites. The remains of Civil War field fortifications can be observed along U.S. 21 & 17A between Yemassee and Pocotaligo (that section of highway is now a part of Yemassee, as the town has now greatly expanded into Beaufort County [as of 2006]). As of 2006 there is a building boom underway in and around Yemassee. The rural aspect of Yemassee is now (as of 2006) beginning to disappear with the construction of large numbers of new homes and very large housing developments in the area. As defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, Yemassee is included within the Hilton Head Island-Beaufort Micropolitan Area. Yemassee hosts one of the few commercial breeding facilities of non-human primates in the entire United States. Also, the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Auld Brass Plantation house and outbuildings lie just outside the town limits of Yemassee.
