Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, was named after the 17th-Century lighthouse keeper, Captain Florence O’Sullivan. The area has inspired generations of poets, painters and authors with its picturesque beauty and easy-going style. Sullivan’s Island inspired Edgar Allen Poe to write his short story “The Gold Bug” while he was stationed at Fort Moultrie. Today, the Fort is a National Monument, famous for repelling the British Fleet in 1776. Fort Moultrie is made of palmetto logs; South Carolina is known as the Palmetto State in commemoration of this historic battle. Sullivan’s Island continues to celebrate being the inspiration for Poe’s work by naming several of its streets for the poet, including Raven and Gold Bug drives.
