| County History |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Allendale County and its county seat were named for the Allen
family, one of whose members, Paul Allen, was the town's first postmaster.
The county is South Carolina's youngest; it was formed in 1919 from parts of
Barnwell and Hampton counties. The area was settled in the mid-eighteenth
century by English, German, and Scotch-Irish farmers, and it remains
primarily agricultural. The plantation of Confederate general Johnson Hagood
(1829-1898) was in what is now Allendale County, and the artist Jasper Johns
spent his childhood years in Allendale. |
