Georgetown District, South Carolina



 

Notes:


From FamilySearch Wiki:  
Georgetown District was created in 1768 by renaming Craven County. It should not be confused with Georgetown County created in 1800 by renaming Winyah County. From 1800 to 1868 that Georgetown County was also known by the alias of Georgetown District. 

In 1785 four subordinate counties were formed within the overarching Georgetown District:
Kingston County—in 1801 renamed Horry County
Liberty County—in 1798 renamed Marion County
Williamsburg County—abolished 1798, then in 1804 re-established with the same boundaries
Winyah County—in 1800 renamed Georgetown County

Prior to 1798 none of these counties became functional. They were counties in name only. Records were kept either at the parish level, at the District Seat level in Georgetown, or at the capital in Charleston.

In 1800, South Carolina abolished overarching administrative court districts like Georgetown District, and switched to the county-only concept. An all new Georgetown County was created in 1800 by renaming Winyah County. However they called their counties, districts until 1868, after the Civil War.
