Orangeburg South Carolina and Orangeburg County South Carolina * Area History

Orangeburg South Carolina Area History
Located near the center of South Carolina, Orangeburg South Carolina,
is a city known for its charm and Southern living.

In 1704, an Indian trader named George Sterling
was the first to come to this area, which would become known as the Orangeburg District (so called for William, Prince of Orange, the son-in-law of King George II of England).

In 1735, a colony of 200 Swiss, German and Dutch immigrants formed a community near the banks of
the North Edisto River. The site was attractive because of the fertile soil and abundance of wildlife. The river provided an outlet to the port of Charleston for agricultural and lumber products. Today,
Orangeburg serves as the county seat.
