HISTORY
ABBEVILLE COUNTY
Founded in 1785 as the Abbeville District, the county today is comprised
of six towns and communities, the largest of which is the historic town
of Abbeville.
EDGEFIELD COUNTY
Founded in 1785, Edgefield County has played a large role in South
Carolina’s history. The county is best known for having produced ten
governors and five lieutenant governors. Residents have also assisted in
the establishment of Clemson University and Winthrop University.
GREENWOOD COUNTY
Located in the center of the Old 96 District, Greenwood County has an
abundance of history, culture and outdoor recreational opportunities.
LAURENS COUNTY
Laurens County began as a major intersection of travel in colonial
America. The same five crossroads promoted a centralization of
agriculture and textile mills in later years.
MCCORMICK COUNTY
At the doorway to the fabulous J. Strom Thurmond Lake, McCormick
County offers a beautiful blend of the old and new.
Ever wonder what life was like before the cell phone? Where a remote
was a location far away from it all and a tweet was something you
heard from a bird. Old 96 is off the beaten path and we’re proud of it.
Affordable accommodations? You bet. Scenic? You got it. We’re home to
South Carolina’s Freshwater Coast – a series of pristine lakes that stretch
for over 60 miles. We welcome visits from outdoorsy people like you.

The Palmetto tree used in South Carolina’s State logo is a tribute to
the palmetto logs that were used to build Ft. Moultrie on Sullivan’s
Island during the Revolutionary War. It’s said to have withstood
bombardment from British warships extremely well. Palmetto is a
soft wood and absorbed the blows from the cannon balls.
