Notes for FANNIE MAE POOLE:
Clarendon County is the most nrothern poing in the Santee Cooper Region of South Carolina. The name of Clarendon for a county in South Carolina was first proposed in 1783 when the legislature of South Carolina first suggested that the state should be divided into seven court districts. It has been assumed that the county derives its name from Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, one of the original eight Lord Propreitors of the Carolina. A legislative act passed in 1785 which created the county of Clarendon. Old Camden District was divided to form Clarendon and six other counties. At that time, the boundaries of Clarendon County were as follows: "beginning; on the Wateree at Pearson's Island, thence by the widow Grimes's plantation straight to Lynch's Creek, then along Santee River to the beginning. " In 1790, Clarendon County shared a senator with Claremont County (now included in Sumter County). In 1792, Salem County was created from the eastern part of Clarendon County and Claremont County. In 1798, the three counties of Clarendon, Claremont, and Salem were combined to form Sumter District. Clarendon remained part of Sumter District until a legislative act passed on December 19, 1855, established the Clarendon District with the same old boundaries as the act of 1785. The greatest local political excitement in Sumter Distirct during the summer of 1855, was the agitation by the citizens of old Clarendon County for separation from Sumter District. Lawyers in Sumter fought the plan. They viewed it as a loss of a large share of their business which would be diverted to new courthouse. They lost the battle when the state legislature voted for the plan. In 1868 the State Constitution changed the name from Clarendon District to Clarendon County.
Soon after Clarendon County was reestablished in 1855, Captain Joseph C. Burgess was chosen to locate the geographic center of the county. The exact center fell on the east side of Ox Swamp but enough suitable land was not available. It was decided to build the courthouse and village of Manning about a mile east of Ox Swamp. Clarendon's county seat, Manning, had its beginning on a tract of land that had originally been granted to George Statia on August 7, 1768. In 1791, he sold the land to William Ridgeway and the land remained in the Ridgeway family until 1834, when it was then sold to William Steadman. Steadman sold 50 acres of the property to Captain Joseph C. Burgess that same year. On May 16, 1856, Captain Burgess deeded six acres of the land over to the State of South Carolina for the building of a courthouse and jail. Court was held in the Clarendon County Courthouse for the first time on April 19, 1858. Clarendon County began its separate existence once again in October of 1856. The post office was established in June of 1856. In January of 1857, a separate judicial district was established in Clarendon County. The county seat, Manning, received its charter on January 28, 1861. The town was named for John Lawrence Manning, who served as Governor of South Carolina from 1852-1854. Clarendon County has produced six governors for the state of South Carolina. Manning's motto is "Matchless for beauty and hospitality." Reporter Walter Winchell described Mannning as "the prettiest town from Maine to Miami." Manning is complemented by the nearby Clarendon County towns of Summerton and Turbeville and by the communities of Davis Station, Wilson, Foreston, Jordan, Paxville, and Bloomville. The town of Summerton dates back to 1737 when it was known as Summertown. The village was a summer resort used by planters along the Santee River who sought a retreat to escape the mosquitos which thrived in the swamps near the river.
The first white settlers in the area, now known as Clarendon County, were French Huguenots who came up the Santee River. The Santee River has played a major roll in the history of Clarendon County. Transportation of goods by land was very difficult. Canals were a solution to the problem. The earliest and most notable of canal enterprises of its era was the Santee Canal. Chartered in 1783, construction began in 1793. The 22 mile long canal opened in July of 1800, but with the coming of the railroad by 1850, the canal closed. In 1938, the Santee was once again turned to for use a a natural resource. A large man-made lake was formed after dikes and dams were constructed along with giant hydroelectric plants. Known as Lake Marion on maps, locals speak of a fishing, boating, or swimming trip to the area as " going to Santee." The origin of the name of the Santee River is debatable. Some say that the word has Indian origins, " Zantee," and means" the river." Others say that the river was named from the French word," Sante'," meaning "health.;"
