An excerpt from the book, The Beginning and Development of Holden Beach 1756-2000, by John M. Holden.


Mr. Brown repaired his log house after the Civil War ended and reared his family there. A few years before he died at the age of 94 years, in 1904, he moved four or five miles away from the river.

Local residents have identified the area adjacent to the inlet as "Brown's Landing" for over a hundred years. Likewise, the stone chimney on the log house provided the name of the road from Brown's Landing to Supply; it is named "Stone Chimney Road."

The Holden Beach area is rich with Civil War history. Naming several streets in the L.S. Holden subdivision for lost Civil War ships was very appropriate.
