I have to tell you folks that it was a difficult task to pare down this list to something of manageable size and, if you don’t believe me, just look up ‘odd South Carolina town names’ one day when you have a spare moment. You will understand what I mean. This type of thing is not unique to South Carolina, but the sheer number of them might be!
- Let’s start with the B’s, shall we?
