  • History of South Carolina State Parks
    H «ks History of South < Carolina State Parks Revised July 9, 1992 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/historyofsouthcaOOunse HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATE PARKS Revised July 9, 1992 In the early twentieth century, man began to have more freedom due to the progress of invention and industry. He began to look for areas where he could enjoy life, be with his family - close to nature and recreational areas. He needed land where he could see America as the first man did. All across the nation, people began to look for these places. The answer to their quest was in the creation of parks for the people, both state and national. THE BEGINNING Taking a cue from the establishment of the national parks, South Carolina began to think of state parks for her people. In 1934, the South Carolina General Assembly passed an act charging the South Carolina Commission of Forestry with the responsibility of state parks. This act was signed into law by Governor Ibra C. Blackwood. This action was prompted by the people of Cheraw who had donated 706 acres to South Carolina to be used as a state park. South Carolina was now on its way to providing her people with the recreational outlets they needed. THE WORK OF THE C.C.C. The development of the parks owes its greatest debt to the many young men who created the parks. In 1933 the Civilian Conservation Corps was established by the United States Congress under the direction of President Franklin Roosevelt.
