Conway: Horry County Seat on the Waccamaw River
Conway sits along the Waccamaw River about 15 miles inland from Myrtle Beach and serves as the county seat of Horry County. The city was settled in 1732 as Kingston and renamed for Robert Conway, a Revolutionary War general, in 1801. Its location at the head of navigation on the Waccamaw made it the shipping point for inland timber and naval stores that floated down the river to Georgetown and onto the Atlantic.
Coastal Carolina University was established in 1954 as a junior college and became a four-year institution in 1993. It now enrolls roughly 10,000 students and fields Division I athletic teams, with the baseball program winning the 2016 College World Series. The downtown historic district retains antebellum and early 20th-century commercial buildings along Main Street and the Riverwalk, which follows the Waccamaw for more than a mile through the center of town.
