South Carolina Culpepper Archives
Richland District/County
History
In the middle South
Carolina part of the Sand Hills region, Richland County was formed in
1785 from Camden District.
In 1786 the state legislature decided to move the
capital from Charleston to a more central location. A site was chosen in
Richland County, which is in the geographic center of the state, and a new town
was laid out. Columbia subsequently became not only the center of government but
an important trade and manufacturing center. Cotton from the surrounding
plantations was shipped through Columbia and later manufactured into textiles
there. In 1791, a small part of Richland went to
Kershaw County.
In 1798,
Camden District was abolished and
its counties, including Richland became districts. In 1868, Richland
District was designated Richland County. Its county seat, Columbia, is at the junction of I-20, I-77 and I-26. It is
about 110 miles northwest of Charleston, and 80 miles south of
Charlotte, NC. Richland County is bordered by the counties of
Fairfield,
Kershaw, Sumter,
Clarendon, Calhoun and
Lexington.
