Ulmer, SC 29849
At the junction of US301 and US321 is the town of Ulmer. Not a lot to it besides this Post Office and the rundown little building next to it. However, that was not always the case and lil ole Ulmer has a fascinating South Carolina history!
The community now known as Ulmer goes back for many years. The surrounding lands belonged to only two persons - Ephriam Ulmer and John Williams. There are authentic records dating back to the 1700s. The ancestorial home of the John Williams family still stands. It was lived in until sometime in the 1950s. The first building was erected on the banks of the Salkehatchie River. The site was near a settlement know as Buford's Bridge - which was there prior to the Revolutionary War.
While a proper name was being decided for the town that was building around the depot, it was jokingly called "too nigh". Streets needed to be laid out for the new town, but this was going to take more of Mr. Ulmer's property. However, Mr. Ulmer agreed to reliquish extra property in exchange for the town being called "Ulmer" in his honor. This was agreed upon and the town of Ulmer got its charter on August 7, 1891.

Lowcountry Beauty - What our Founding Fathers Found
Unspoiled, natural beauty!
That's what our Forefathers and first settlers must have found when they made their new home in the Lowcountry of our beloved South Carolina. It must have looked just like this...green, and serene.
Is this a photo from Charlestowne Landing, perhaps? No, just an undeveloped property in West Ashley.
Do you have waterfront property? What's your property appraising for these days? Get an appraisal.

A Lowcountry Seafood Tradition - How to Make SC Hush Puppies
Fried Whiting and Hushpuppies From Marvin's Seafood, North Charleston, SC
Originally uploaded by huggingthecoast.com coastal food blog
Charleston, and the rest of the Lowcountry that hugs our SC Intercoastal Waterways, is the lifeblood and livelihood of our hardworking, dedicated Fishermen and Shrimpers.
We are grateful to always be blessed with fish and shrimp...and round these parts...it's fresh, Buddy!
How to Make SC Hush Puppies
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 cup corn meal
15 oz can cream style corn
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion chopped
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 jalapenos (chopped fine)
Mix together all ingredients. Spoon in hot cooking oil until your Hush Puppies are brown.
Now some folks do not use the cream corn, In that case add a little milk to the batter until it forms a soft dough - and fry it up as the recipe states.
Some Lowcountry folks add paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper and garlic.
For SC Cocktail Sauce just mix horseradish and ketchup, a dash of lemon juice and one shot of worcestershire sauce.
