Ninety Six is a town in Greenwood County, South Carolina, United States, located approximately 9 miles northeast of the county seat, Greenwood. As of the 2020 census, the town had a population of 2,076, making it the second-largest municipality in the county, behind the City of Greenwood.[5] The town covers a total area of 1.82 square miles, all of which are land.[6][7]

Established on the colonial frontier in the early 1700s[8], Ninety Six was officially incorporated on May 27, 1905, soon becoming a well-known trading post.[9] It was the seat for the Ninety Six District upon its establishment as a town, until the district’s abolishment in 1799.[10] The town was the site of a siege[11] from May 22 to June 19, 1781 during the Revolutionary War, spanning 28 days.[12][13][14] The battlefield is now the Ninety Six National Historic Site, maintained by the National Park Service.[15][16]

During the 19th century, the town’s economy was largely dependent on textile mills, such as the Ninety-Six Mill. However, as the mills started to shutter, and production began to be outsourced, the economy started to decline,[17] which led to a revitalization project in the early 2000’s.[18] Today, Ninety Six benefits from tourism to it’s historic site and nearby state park, along with events such as the Festival of Stars, a Fourth of July celebration which are hosted yearly by the town.[19][20][21]

Geography

[edit]

Ninety Six is located in eastern Greenwood County at 34°10′24″N 82°1′18″W / 34.17333°N 82.02167°W / 34.17333; -82.02167 (34.173211, -82.021710).[22] South Carolina Highway 34 passes through the town as its Main Street; it leads west 9 miles (14 km) to Greenwood, the county seat, and east 27 miles (43 km) to Newberry.[23]

Lake Greenwood State Park is 5 miles (8 km) northeast of town, and Ninety Six National Historic Site is 2 miles (3 km) south of the center of town.[15]

According to the United States Census Bureau, Ninety Six has a total area of 1.8 square miles (4.7 km2), all land.[5]

Etymology

[edit]

There is much confusion about the name, "Ninety Six", and the true origin may never be known. Speculation has led to the mistaken belief that traders estimated it was 96 miles (154 km) from here to the nearest Cherokee settlement of Keowee[24] (it was about 78 miles (126 km)); to a counting of creeks crossing the main road leading from Lexington, South Carolina, to Ninety-Six (a legend proved false); to an interpretation of a Welsh expression, nant-sych, meaning "dry gulch"[25]. No one is able to confirm that European founder Robert Goudey (sic) was Welsh, English, Scottish[26], or German.[27]

Traders passed on information to each other about landmarks and distances along the Cherokee Path, and sometimes created maps.[28] They estimated mileage between streams based on their day's travel. They noted unusual aspects, such as the six creeks that ran unexpectedly south away from the Saluda River and, further west, nine creeks that ran south away from the Savannah River, noting them on maps as "6" and "9".[25] One story suggests that a town in this area and a district both became known as "Ninety-Six", likely related to the evolution of traders' references to 9 and 6, the landmark groups of streams. Using historical accounts and USGS maps, historians have traced the Cherokee Path across present-day Greenwood County, territory that at the time was part of other districts.[29]

Another source suggests the numerical reference was to measuring by Chain, traditional in English parishes.[30] Even so, the origin of the name "Ninety-Six" remains a mystery.[31] Ninety Six has been noted for its unusual place name.[32][33]

History

[edit]

18th century

[edit]

Ninety Six was established on the frontier of the early 18th century, roughly around 1730.[7] For a time it was known as "Jews Land" because some prominent Sephardic Jewish families of London bought extensive property there.[34] The Salvador and DaCosta families bought 200,000 acres (810 km2), intending to help poor Sephardic families relocate from London to the New World.[35] They began to settle it.[36]

The settlement became the capital city of the Ninety-Six District when the latter was established in July 1769.[37] Since the late 20th century, the National Park Service has operated the Ninety Six National Historic Site[38] at the site of the original settlement and British fort.[39]

Ninety Six figured prominently in the Anglo-Cherokee War (1758–1761).[40] During the American Revolutionary War, it was a site for southern campaigns.[41] The first land battle of the revolution south of New England was fought here November 19–21, 1775.[42]

On August 1, 1776, American militia forces led by Major Andrew Williamson were ambushed by Cherokee and Loyalists near here in the Battle of Twelve Mile Creek. More than 4,000 Cherokee warriors had waged war on a long front beginning in June, from modern Tennessee to central South Carolina.[43] Francis Salvador, a Sephardic Jewish immigrant from London and a planter, was one of the casualties. He was the first Jew to be killed fighting with the Patriots in the Revolutionary War.[44]

Star Fort battle site

The Cherokee were allied with the British in an effort to expel European-American settlers from their territory. In fall 1776, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia raised rebel militias to retaliate. Rutherford's Light Horse expedition had several units that attacked the Cherokee Lower Towns; the Middle, Valley, and Out Towns; and the Overhill Towns, dealing widespread destruction of Cherokee towns and their stores of food.

In 1780 the British fortified the strategically important frontier town with a star fort. From May 22 to June 18, 1781, Major General Nathanael Greene, with 1,000 Continental Army troops, besieged 550 American Loyalists who were defending Ninety Six. General Greene's chief engineer at the siege was Colonel Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish officer who became world-renowned for his role in the Revolution; he was wounded at the siege. The Loyalists survived the siege and relocated after the war to Rawdon, Nova Scotia, Canada, with support from the Crown for resettlement.[45]

19th century

[edit]

In the nineteenth century, the Southern Railway was constructed through the town and had a stop at Ninety Six. The Kinard House, Moore-Kinard House, Ninety Six National Historic Site, and Southern Railway Depot (Ninety Six, South Carolina) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[46][47]

21st century

[edit]

In 2008, Ninety Six started hosting an annual July 4 celebration in the park. It is called the festival of stars and as of 2023 is still running in its 15th consecutive year. It has had many famous headliners at the festival including Tracy Lawrence and Aaron Tippin.[48] The festival hosts a petting zoo, various food vendors, a multitude of booths selling items, rides, and even a helicopter ride. People in the town look forward to this annual celebration.[49]

Revitalization of Ninety Six

[edit]
After the revitalization, many businesses were added to Lou Ellen Drive.

In 2007, the Town of Ninety Six, with the help of Clemson University, launched an initiative to address the economic decline and deterioration of the city, following the loss of textile jobs.

On July 10, 2007, community leaders, most members of the Historic 96 Development Association, held a public presentation outlining the plan for the project. The project’s mission was to “restore pride, beauty and a sense of history to the Town of Ninety Six.”

The initiative received broad support from locals, raising $28,533 of its $29,333 planning budget through pledges from the town, the Ninety Six Chamber of Commerce, Greenwood County, and local businesses. The project was also awarded a $29,325 grant from the South Carolina Budget and Control Board to fund streetscape improvements on Main and Cambridge Streets.

The planning of the project began with a multi-day “charrette” held in January 2008, where Clemson representatives had public input sessions with residents, businesses, government officials, and tourism leaders. Following the charrette, the town formed a committee and multiple task forces.

By 2012, the task force had:

Hurricane Helene impact

[edit]
Main article: Hurricane Helene

In the early morning of September 28, 2025, Hurricane Helene ran through Ninety Six, bringing down numerous trees and power lines throughout the town. Residents without solar or other means of generation were left without power, some without gas.[51] Power was gradually restored, and most customers had power to their homes approximately a week after the disaster. However, many residents were still without internet, and many were unable to connect to the internet for over a month. Many residents reported that their cellular service was down, leaving them unable to even send a basic text message, likely caused by an overload on the provider's networks. By January 16, 2025 the county had started to wrap up clean-up efforts around the city.[52]
