From introduction: "The boundaries of the survey area are those of modern Dorchester County. The county is bounded by Charleston County to the southeast, Colleton County to the southwest, Orangeburg County to the northwest, and Berkeley County to the northeast. ( See Appendix One, "Map Showing Boundaries of the Survey Area.") The section of Dorchester County that is inside the incorporated City of North Charleston was included in the Statewide Inventory during the City of North Charleston Historical and Architectural Survey (1994-95). That area was not resurveyed. The section of Summerville that is inside Berkeley County was surveyed in 1989 with the Berkeley County Inventory. Only a few properties, mostly along Highway 17A east of I-26, were inventoried. None of them were found to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Field work and research undertaken during the Dorchester County Survey supports the determination of non-eligibility for those properties. The Dorchester County Historic Resources Survey is part of the survey program of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), a division of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. The Statewide Survey of Historic Places is the foundation of South Carolina's historic preservation program. The primary objectives of the survey are to identify historic resources, record their locations, and evaluate their significance in the context of South Carolina's history." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
