Liberty Hill

In 1864 Paul and Harriet Trescott, “Free People of Color” owned 112 acres and sold the land to 4 “Freedmen” in 1871, Ishmael Grant, Aaron Middleton, brothers, Plenty and William Lecque.  Liberty Hill (The Hill) is the oldest organized community in the City of North Charleston. It is located between Gaynor Avenue and Mixon Avenue along the E. Montague Corridor. For over 100 years The Hill has been a self-sufficient, self-sustaining community with over 60 thriving businesses. Every need was met for the residents from medical care, goods and services to employment.

Presently, Liberty Hill has an open application at the SC Preservation Office and is up for consideration for Historical Designation on the National Register and is going through a renewal process within Liberty Hill’s “Build, Back, Better Together” Revitalization Plan.
