Darlington County

Website: https://darlingtoncountymuseum.org/

Darlington County, though not the site of major battles, played a meaningful role in the Revolutionary War through the partisan conflict that swept the Cheraw District. The execution of Patriot supporter Adam Cusack in Society Hill galvanized local resistance, while leaders such as Colonel Lamuel Benton organized militias that sustained the fight for independence. The county’s name, though uncertain in origin, is believed either to honor a Revolutionary War figure, Colonel Darlington, or to reflect a namesake town in England.
