Summerville was founded in 1785 as "Pineland Village" by John McKee, Sr. At that time, it was located in Berkeley County; today it is located in the adjoining Dorchester County. It was incorporated on August 10, 1847. The name "Summerville" comes from the summer resort hotels that were built in the town during the early 19th century to provide refuge from summer malaria. Summerville became a popular place of refuge for plantation families from the Lowcountry's heat and mosquitoes, protective gun batteries during the Civil War, and later resort hotels.
