Moncks Corner: Berkeley County Seat and Cypress Gardens
Moncks Corner serves as the county seat of Berkeley County, located about 30 miles north of Charleston. The town takes its name from Thomas Monck, who acquired land in the area in 1735, and grew around the intersection of the Biggin Creek Trading Path and other colonial roads. Moncks Corner incorporated in 1885 and has developed as the administrative and legal center for a county that includes much of the Cooper River watershed.
Cypress Gardens, a 170-acre swamp garden and wildlife preserve, lies just southeast of Moncks Corner. The gardens, developed in the 1920s and 1930s on a former rice plantation, feature blackwater swamp accessible by flat-bottomed boats and walking trails. Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist monastery on the Cooper River, operates a printing press and Christmas tree farm and welcomes visitors. The abbey occupies a former plantation donated in 1949 by Henry and Clare Boothe Luce.
