Welcome to the Newto News for December of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Myrtle Beach, located on the eastern coast of South Carolina, has a rich history dating back to the early 1700s when the area was inhabited by the Waccamaw and Winyah Native American tribes. The city was founded in 1900 and named after the myrtle trees that grew abundantly in the area. During the early 20th century, Myrtle Beach became known as a popular vacation destination due to its beautiful beaches and mild climate. The construction of the Intracoastal Waterway in the 1930s further boosted the city’s tourism industry, attracting visitors from all over the country. In the 1950s, Myrtle Beach experienced a significant population boom as more and more people relocated to the area to enjoy its resort-like atmosphere. Today, Myrtle Beach is a thriving coastal city with a vibrant tourism industry, offering visitors a wide range of attractions including golf courses, amusement parks, and luxury resorts.
