| County History |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Dillon County was named for James W. Dillon (1826-1913), a
prominent local resident. The county seat was also named for him. Dillon
County was formed in 1910 from Marion County. Swamps and rivers kept this
section of the Pee Dee isolated for many years, but the construction of a
railroad in the nineteenth century brought increased development. The
residents primarily engaged in cotton and tobacco farming and in timber
harvesting. Composer Carlisle Floyd was born in the Dillon County town of
Latta. |
