History

Founding

Both Abbeville County and the county seat, Abbeville, get their name from the town of Abbeville, France.[4] The county was originally part of Ninety-Six District, South Carolina, but was designated Abbeville County in 1785, with parts of the county later going to the creation of the counties of Greenwood and McCormick.[4] Abbeville County was settled by mostly Scotch Irish and French-Huguenot farmers in the mid-18th century.[4]

  • The Treaty of Dewitt's Corner, a historic peace negotiation with the Cherokee Indians, was signed in Dewitt's Corner (which is now known as Due West) in the county.[4] A a result of the treaty, the Cherokee tribe broke into two factions, one of which, the Chickamauga Cherokee, continued fighting area settlers for another 30 years.
  • Abbeville County was a hotbed of secession before the Civil War and was also where the last Confederate council of war was held[4]

In 1950 Abbeville County had a population of 22,456.[5]

Bryan McClain is the chairman of the Abbeville County Council, who also represents District 7.[6] The other members and their districts are as following:

  • Charlie Stone- District 1[6]
  • John Calhoun- District 2[6]
  • Claude Thomas- District 3[6]
  • William Norris- District 4[6]
  • Oscar Klugh- District 5[6]
