Dillon
Dillon County was formed in 1910 from Marion County. It was named for a local resident, James W. Dillon. This area had remained isolated due to rivers and swamps for some time, the coming of the railroad helped to open the area up to the outside world in the mid 1800s. Cotton, Tobacco and timber have been among the main products of this area.
