Marion “the pretty little town” in South Carolina

The area surrounding the present day City of Marion was settled by English settlers migrating inland from the South Carolina coast in the 1730s and 1740s. Around 1754 a somewhat permanent settlement was established by John Godbold and others. During the American Revolutionary War, family members from the area fought on each side of the American Revolutionary War. In 1798, when courthouse districts were established in the new state, the county was named Marion in honor of Gen. Francis Marion, the notorious “Swamp Fox” of the Revolutionary War. In 1799 Thomas Godbold Sr., a prominent settler, and landowner laid out a village square, depicting lots of homes, businesses and government offices. Marion immediately became a center for justice, commerce, and social activities. The county’s first courthouse was completed in 1800.
