The Corner Community, and the original Corner Store are named after the Corner Plantation. This store was the first store in South Carolina to pay people of color with money rather than barter for goods. There was no share-cropping on St. Helena Island, this resulted in an economic vibrancy unknown in other parts of the rural South. The people who were formerly enslaves had purchased their land through The Reconstruction Policy. Land ownership is a hallmark of the native Gullah people.
