Pee Dee Country
Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Lee, Marion, Williamsburg and
Marlboro Counties
Named for the original Native America Pee Dee Indians who used to call the area home, the Pee Dee region offers visitors wonderful parks and other natural areas. History is also a big draw for the area, as its history runs the gamut from the Revolutionary to the Civil Wars. Plus, everything from cotton to tobacco - both major cash crops of the Pee Dee - are reflected in the region's offerings. For golfers, there are a number of courses to choose from, while outdoorsmen have lakes and parks to enjoy. Come and spend some time in one of South Carolina's true gems and walk away with a little more knowledge about a region.
