Doing research in the “Golden Corner” of South Carolina (Anderson-Oconee-Pickens Counties) might be time consuming for you, because of how these counties were formed.  Based on your time-period, you might need to research all (3) counties. 

 

- In 1789 Pendleton County was formed as part of the 96th Judicial District from Indian Country.
- In 1795 Pendleton County was placed in the Washington Judicial District.
- In 1799, Pendleton County was named Pendleton District by the State legislature and Washington Judicial District was discontinued.
- In 1826/27, Pendleton District was divided into the Anderson & Pickens Districts.
- In 1868 the state legislature decided to change all districts to counties
- Current-day Anderson County represents the old Anderson District.
- Current-day Pickens County represents part of old Pickens District.
- Current-day Oconee County represents part of old Pickens County & added Indian Land.
- In 1986, Pickens County annexed Oconee land that included Clemson College & area extending SE to Anderson County.
 

General Information

Notes:

Researching in South Carolina can be especially difficult due to the unusual development of jurisdictional entities. Prior to the 1769 organization of seven judicial districts, Pendleton did not exist. From 1769 until 1789, the area known as Pendleton District lay within the unorganized Indian lands (though some maps show a portion was within the northern boundaries of Ninety-Six District). This Indian Land area had been taken from the Cherokee during the American Revolution. In 1786, Greenville County was carved from this area, and in 1789 Pendleton County was established. In 1791 the state was reorganized again, and nine districts existed: Washington, Pinckney, Ninety-Six, Orangeburg, Camden, Cheraws, Georgetown, Charleston, and Beaufort. Washington District encompassed the counties of Pendleton and Greenville. In 1800, Washington District was abolished and Pendleton County became Pendleton District. In 1826 Pendleton District was divided into Pickens and Anderson Districts, hence all queries and research on this site will be limited to pre-1826. NOTE: Pickens District encompassed present-day Oconee and Pickens counties, while Anderson District encompassed present-day Anderson county. It wasn't until 1868 when the judicial districts were abolished that Oconee County was carved from Pickens District. (by: Victoria Proctor)
