South Carolina In Chattooga County? The History Behind An Unusual Local Name

Local News, Local News Items #CampMeeting, #chattoogacounty, #ChattoogaCountyHistory, #ChattoogaHistory, #ChattoogaInfo, #ChurchHistory, #GeorgiaHighway100, #GeorgiaHistory, #HighPointGA, #Highway100, #HistoricalMonday, #HistoricChurches, #LocalHistory, #lyerlyga, #MethodistHistory, #MondayHistory, #northwestgeorgia, #SouthCarolinaCampground, #summervillega, #TaylorsRidge, #WZQZ, #wzqznews, #YourHometownRadioStation 0

Motorists traveling Georgia Highway 100 between Summerville and the Floyd County line pass a place whose unusual name reaches deep into Chattooga County’s earliest history.

South Carolina Campground sits near the southern end of Taylor’s Ridge in the High Point area. To someone unfamiliar with the community, the name might seem out of place. After all, the South Carolina state line is many miles away.

But the name is a reminder of the families who settled this portion of Chattooga County during the 1800s — and of a time when a rural campground could serve not only as a place of worship, but as a school, meeting place, cemetery and center of community life.

Records indicate the history of South Carolina Campground stretches back to the 1840s, only a few years after Chattooga County itself was created in 1838.
