Sumter
Sumter District was formed in 1800 by the merging of Salem, Clarendon and Claremont Counties. In 1857 Clarendon was formed out of the area of the Sumter District and in 1902 Lee County was formed from a part of Sumter. The County was named for Thomas Sumter, who was a Revolutionary War officer. During the Civil War there was a skirmish at Dingle’s Mill in Sumter County.
