Aiken County Genealogy
Aiken County was formed in 1871 from Edgefield, Orangeburg, Barnwell and Lexington Counties. It was named for William Aiken who was president of the South Carolina railroad. The town of Aiken, which became the county seat was established as a depot on the South Carolina rail line between Hamburg (on the Savannah River) and Charleston. In the 1870s the area became somewhat of a resort for the well to do from the north. The Savannah River Site was established in Aiken County in 1950 as a nuclear bomb plant.
