Horlbeck Creek is a small-to-medium sized waterfront community located right next to Brickyard Plantation along Highway 41. Most homes are elevated, and many of the waterfront homes have docks on Horlbeck Creek, which feeds into the Wando River.
The Horlbeck creek area is named after the brothers John Adam Horlbeck (1729 - 1812) and John Peter Horlbeck (1726 - 1797), architects in Charleston.
This area used to be open woodlands surrounding the creek which now has been built up.
