Florence County
was formed from main sections of Darlington and Marion Counties plus
other townships from Williamsburg and Clarendon Counties, starting in
1888. The last section of Williamsburg County was not added until 1921.
Florence County was named for the daughter of General W. W. Harlee.

Lynches River
County Park is a beautifully untamed piece of South Carolina waterway
with rivers for canoeing, nature trails, geocaches hidden throughout
the grounds and ample space for picnicking. For larger events, a community
building can host groups ranging from 20 to 400. The two RV Gypsies
came here because they wanted to do the canopy-tree-tops walk. |
