. Parris Island, home of basic training for today,s Ma- Hlstor rines east of the Mississippi, has a colorful history. Al- though the first Marine Corps Activity on the island was in June, 1891, the story of its occupancy by Euro- peans reaches back mo're than three centuries into 0 antiquity. Covering approximately 7800 acres of land and wa- ter, Parris Island is located off the South Carolina . Parrl I l n coast about midway between Charleston, SC, and Savannah, Ga. The site of the earliest attempt by Europeans to set- tle within the present boundaries of the State of South Carolina, the island was visited in 1526 by Valaquez de Alleyn who headed a Spanish expedition in search of slaves and gold. Probably the first European to land here, he named adjacent St. Helena Island and claimed it for Spain some 50 years before the French attempted to colonize the islands which included this Marine Corps Recruit Depot.
