A Brief History of Allendale, South Carolina

The original site of the town of Allendale was not the present town center. There is an historical marker at the original location, which is southwest of Allendale at the intersection of roads 107 and 47. The historical marker is in the southwest corner of the intersection. It reads: "Original site of Allendale, named for its first postmaster, Paul Allen, in 1849. Sherman's troops under Gen. Kilpatrick camped here. Town moved to present site by 1873." The marker was erected by the Allendale County Museum. (South Carolina Highway Historical Marker Guide, published by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, 1998).

Sherman's crew burned the buildings at the old location of Allendale to the ground, and probably attempted to burn the very ground itself. In Georgia they burned Atlanta and books, in SC, they attempted to burn the very dirt. War may be hell, but Sherman, his associates, allies, and their ilk, have been wished there ever since by all who were in his path. He forever changed the literal face of everything in his path.
