Ardoch, fronting on the old Stage Road from Savannah to Darien where it traversed this Swamp, was the plantation home of the McDonalds from Colonial Days through the early 19th century.
During the Revolutionary War, members of this branch of the McDonald clan were Loyalists, as were many families of Coastal Georgia, in a skirmish fight in his home in Ardoch, only a short distance from this spot, Robert McDonald was killed in the presence of his wife and children and the Ardoch house burned.
