Geography
Hanahan is located at the very south end of Berkeley County, and its city limits on the west and south sides are contiguous with the county line between Berkeley and Charleston counties. It was incorporated as a city in 1973.
Hanahan is bordered on the west and south by the city of North Charleston. To the east is the old Naval Weapons Station, which was formerly a submarine base, and is still federal property. A very small portion of this federal base is actually in Hanahan’s city limits. Among other uses of the former submarine base, the Naval Consolidated Brig is there, as is the Navy’s Nuclear Power School. To the east and north is the city of Goose Creek, as well as unincorporated portions of Berkeley County.
CSX Transportation has a main north-south track that runs along Hanahan’s west city limit. Hanahan is primarily a residential city. It does have quite a number of major warehouses in the northeast and southeast portions of the city, most of whose business is tied directly to the Port of Charleston, aeronautics, logistics and the defense industries. There are two commercial districts, one in the southernmost section of the city and another in Tanner Plantation. There has been some commercial development in the area known as Tanner Plantation, a primarily residential portion of the city which has developed over about the last 15 years. Hanahan’s proximity to rail and major roadways make it an ideal place for cargo warehousing.
The Otranto Plantation was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 11.5 square miles (29.8 km), of which 10.7 square miles (27.7 km) is land and 0.81 square miles (2.1 km), or 7.14%, is water.
