This area was part of a township laid out called Edisto, later named Orangeburg which was laid out in an attempt to encourage settlement of the inland back country. This area later became a part of Barnwell County and then finally Allendale County.

The town of Allendale is not in it’s current location on the site of the original, it was moved around 1873. Gen. Sherman’s army passed through this area in the Civil War destroying quite a bit that was in their path. Some say that in South Carolina they burned towns and tried to burn the very dirt…. the original buildings were burnt to the ground during this time.
