Myrtle Beach can't boast of extensive list of landmarks as it has more a story than a history of establishment. In fact, the area was uninhabited for a long time till the railroad arrived there in the beginning of 20th century. Since that time it continued to grow until 1957 when it was incorporated. After the airport was built Myrtle Beach arose as a global destination.
