South Carolina Culpepper Archives
Chesterfield District/County
History
In the upper South
Carolina part of the Piedmont region, the oldest
town in the Chesterfield region is Cheraw, which was settled around 1748
by Welsh settlers from Pennsylvania and Delaware. They were later joined
by Scotch-Irish and English settlers. Cheraw was a center for transportation
along the Great Pee Dee River, but most of the county is agricultural.
Chesterfield County was formed in
1785 from Cheraws District. In 1798, Cheraws
District was abolished and some of its counties, including Chesterfield,
became Districts. In 1868, Chesterfield District was designated
Chesterfield County. Its county seat, the town of Chesterfield, is on
SC-9, about 50 miles southeast of Charlotte, NC, and 75 miles northeast
of Columbia. Chesterfield County is bordered by the South Carolina
counties of Marlboro,
Darlington, Kershaw
and Lancaster, and the North Carolina
counties of Union and Anson.
