About Bluffton
The Town of Bluffton is located in Beaufort County, the southernmost coastal county in South Carolina. It is situated on a high bluff overlooking the May River, a pristine waterway that has strongly contributed to the Towns history and continued success. Bluffton is located just 12 miles west of Hilton Head Island, SC and approximately 20 miles northeast of Savannah, GA. It is also easily accessible from Intrastate Highways 46, 170, & 278 and Interstate 95.
Bluffton recently expanded its territory by 32,000 acres through annexation of primarily four tracts of undeveloped land, becoming the fifth largest town in South Carolina (by land area). These recent annexations have created a challenge for government officials and citizens to preserve the Towns rich historical heritage and character.
The Greenways and Leisure Trails Map on the following page shows the most recent Bluffton Town Limits. Since tracts of land are annexed individually, it sometimes creates pockets of unincorporated land throughout a particular area. Such is the case with the Bluffton. However, the catch here is that Bluffton Township (i.e. Fire district) overlays one continuous area of land combining property within the Town limits with the unincorporated pockets of land. Therefore, those who are not within in Town limits can still have a Bluffton mailing address if you are in the Township.
Thus, the Town limits consist of the original one-square mile (Old Town), four primary annexed tracts of land (Shults Tract, Palmetto Bluff Tract, Buckwalter Tract, and Jones Estate), and a number of auxiliary annexations (Bluffton Village, Village at Verdier, Shultz-Goethe Road Area, and Willow Run).
Note:
*SC Hwy 46 is also known as: May River Road between New River Bridge and 4-Way intersection of Boundary & Bruin Streets, Bluffton & May River Roads; Bluffton Road between US Hwy 278 and 4-Way intersection
*The portion of SC Hwy. 46 between the New River Bridge and the four-way stop sign in Blufftons Old Town is known as May River Road. Furthermore, the portion of SC Hwy. 46 between US 278 and the four-way stop sign in Old Town is called Bluffton Road.
*Additionally, US 278 is known as Fording Island Road between the Beaufort/Jasper County line and the bridge to Hilton Head Island.
