==History==
The island's recorded history traces back to (Pre Revolutionary War times ). It was the site of a skirmish called the "Daufuskie Fight" during the Yemassee War of 1715–1717. The island was home to a sizable population of Gullah inhabitants from the end of the Civil War until very recently. The Jimmy Buffett song, "The Prince Of Tides" (from his 1988 album, ''Hot Water'') laments the urbanization of the island and loss of the Gullah. Pat Conroy's 1972 book ''The Water is Wide'' was set on Daufuskie, fictionalized as Yamacraw Island. The book recounts Conroy's experiences teaching on the island in the 1960s.
The Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation has a museum with historical artifacts of the island as well as a display with information about the Gullah history of the island.
