County Boundary History:
The boundary history of South Carolina counties is complex, and it's made the more so because the judicial districts are often confused with the civil districts (=counties). Ignoring completely the early division into parishes and simplifying: in 1769, seven judicial districts were created; in 1785, 34 counties were created within the seven judicial districts; in 1800, the judicial districts were abolished, and the counties were re-designated "districts"; in 1868, the districts were redesignated "counties." Because two of our major CORBIN progenitors were early to South Carolina, their location history is given in more detail. Boundary History of Lexington
