South Carolina (Statehood 1788) South Carolina was separated from North Carolina in 1713. Many early settlers of the area were English, Dutch, Quakers, & Huguenots. The first three districts formed in 1683 were Berkeley, Colleton & Craven all of which were discontinued. Today's Berkeley County is not the original Berkeley District. In 1769, South Carolina was divided into districts. From those 7 districts came the counties we know today. Study of the district, county and boundary link changes may be required to locate your ancestors in South Carolina.
