of years ago, Chesterfield County was at the bottom of an ancient sea.
The sandhills all around the county prove this. Indians lived throughout
the area, and Indian artifacts can be found in various places where
Indians were known to camp. South Carolina's first secession meeting was held on November 19, 1860, at the Chesterfield County Courthouse. Sherman and his troops torched the courthouse in March of 1865, and all records were destroyed. During the Reconstruction Period, a new courthouse was built. Chesterfield County has come a long way. Several industries are located all over the county. Excellent educational programs are maintained. Farming continues today with new variations in crops, fruit orchards, and livestock, including poultry. Several small towns across the county still offer tranquil surroundings with large cities a few miles away. Today, Chesterfield County serves eight municipalities providing the rural areas with opportunities for growth and development through services that are far reaching. The county is a historical treasure but inhabited with a receptive spirit for new ideas. The eight
