History

A swamp in rural Richland County

Richland County was probably named for its "rich land". The county was formed in 1785 as part of the large Camden District.[4]A small part of Richland County was later ceded to adjacentKershaw Countyin 1791. The county seat and largest city is Columbia, which is also the state capital. In 1786, the state legislature decided to move the capital fromCharlestonto a more central location. A site was chosen in Richland County, which is in the geographic center of the state, and a new town was laid out. Richland County's boundaries were formally incorporated on December 18, 1799.[7]Cotton from the surrounding plantations was shipped through Columbia and later manufactured into textiles there. GeneralWilliam T. Shermancaptured Columbia during the Civil War and his troops burned the town and parts of the county on February 17, 1865. TheU. S. Armyreturned on friendlier terms in 1917, whenFort Jacksonwas established, which is now the largest and most activeInitial Entry Training Centerin the U.S. Army. TheSouth Carolina State Houseis located in downtown Columbia.
