==== Ethnic origins ====
Scots-Irish: While there are many different individual national origins, a wave of Scots-Irish moved down the frontier from Pennsylvania through West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, into the area here. That wave led to the distinctive Appalachian culture across these areas which retained linguistic, musical, and other aspects of their heritage far longer than most.

The differences between this culture and the rest of South Carolina were significant, and helped shape deep divides that persist to this day.
