Darlington County

Darlington County is the county government serving a largely rural and small-city area in northeastern South Carolina’s Pee Dee region. Darlington is the county seat, while Hartsville, Lamar and Society Hill are among its other incorporated communities. The county’s economy and landscape have long been shaped by agriculture, manufacturing, transportation and regional commerce. County offices support courts, elections, public safety, roads, planning and other services shared across the jurisdiction. The county’s civic identity developed around its courthouse communities and its connections to the wider Pee Dee region.
