Burroughs & Chapin Company, Inc
Burroughs & Chapin Company's presence in Horry County (pronounced O-Ree) and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, began more than a century ago when Franklin G. Burroughs settled in nearby antebellum Conway and recognized the potential of the turpentine business there. As Burroughs' turpentine and mercantile business grew, Conway flourished as a primary destination on the Waccamaw River. Riverboats like the "F.G. Burroughs" linked Horry County to the rest of the world.
