Dillon County is an administrative area in South Carolina with a mix of farmland, small towns, and transportation corridors running through it. The region combines rural traditions with modern roads that continuously connect people and goods.
The county was created in 1910 by separating from Marion County to better govern the growing population. The railroad played a key role in early growth and continues to shape the area today.
The name comes from James W. Dillon, a local businessman who promoted railroad expansion. Today, the people here shape the region through their diverse backgrounds and connection to both rural and urban life.
Interstate 95 and US Highway 301 run through the county and allow quick travel to other regions. Visitors should have a car since public transit is limited and destinations are spread out.
