About Orangeburg, South Carolina

Orangeburg is a city of 13,240 people on the North Fork of the Edisto River. It is the seat of Orangeburg County. George Sterling opened a fur trading post here in 1704. In 1730 the colonial assembly laid out a township to attract settlers. It honored King George II's son-in-law, William IV, Prince of Orange.

In 1735, 200 Swiss, German and Dutch settlers made homes near the river. They came for the rich soil and the plentiful game. The river carried their crops and lumber down to Charleston, and the colony of small farmers did well. After the Revolution, Eli Whitney's cotton gin made upland cotton pay. The county filled with large plantations worked by enslaved African Americans, who soon made up most of its people.

“The first Lutheran congregation in the state was established at Orangeburg; it converted to the Anglican faith in 1750 under the leadership of the Reverend John Giessendanner.”
South Carolina Encyclopedia
  • A church from before 1763The congregation built its church in the middle of the village before 1763. Fighting in the Revolutionary War destroyed it, so the members built a new one. During the Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman's Union troops marched through Orangeburg. They used the new church as a smallpox hospital.
  • Two colleges after freedomAfter the Civil War, freed Black residents set out to get an education, and two colleges grew up in the city. Claflin, the state's oldest historically Black university, opened in 1869. Its Tingley Memorial Hall joined the National Register in 1983. South Carolina State followed in 1896. Under segregation, it was the state's land grant college for Black students.
  • A center of the movementIn 1960 police arrested more than 400 Claflin and South Carolina State students at sit-ins and marches. In August 1963 the Orangeburg Freedom Movement, led by Harlowe Caldwell of the NAACP, gave the mayor 10 integration demands. Talks failed, and protests led to more than 1,300 arrests.
  • The Orangeburg MassacreOn February 8, 1968, police fired on students who were protesting a segregated bowling alley. Samuel Hammond, Henry Smith and Delano Middleton died, and 27 were wounded. The shooting is called the Orangeburg Massacre.
  • Roses since 1951Edisto Memorial Gardens began in the 1920s as azaleas on 5 acres. A playground came in 1922, and a greenhouse and nursery in 1947. The first rose garden went in in 1951 to make the blooming season longer. Today more than 50 beds hold some 4,000 plants of at least 75 kinds, on over 150 acres. The city has held its Festival of Roses since 1972.
