Frogmore Intranational Airport
The name “Frogmore” originated from Frogmore Manor in England, which was a favorite country retreat of Queen Victoria. Her mother, Duchess of Kent, lived and died there in 1861. On its’ grounds is the mausoleum of the Duchess as well as the royal mausoleum of Queen Victoria and Albert, the Prince Consort. The Frogmore Plantation on Saint Helena Island derived its’ name from Frogmore Manor. The Frogmore name on Saint Helena Island may have come about because of homesickness, or mention in William Shakespeare
An editorial in the Beaufort Gazette on April 29, 1987 stated, “Frogmore is a unique name, one steeped in history as well as a fond nickname…In Beaufort County, Frogmore is the name of a community…where Bryan Dorn began his march to governor of South Carolina.” The name is often used as a nickname for the fictitious international airport and the wonderful stew loved by natives, newcomers, and visitors alike.
