History

This township was one of eleven established in 1735 by the Colonial government of King George II to encourage settlement of backcountry South Carolina and serve as a protective buffer between powerful Indian tribes to the west and the older settled plantations of the low country. The name Saxe Gotha was in honor of the marriage of the British Prince of Wales to Princess Augusta of the German State of Saxe Gotha. During the American Revolution several skirmishes occurred in the area. Disastrous fires in 1894 and 1916 on Main Street resulted in the construction of brick buildings, many of which are standing today. Major crops in the 18th Century included corn, wheat, tobacco, hemp, flax, beeswax and livestock.
