Dillon County 3.2.4 What are the characteristics of Dillon County? Dillon County, South Carolina, was founded in 1910 and named after James W. Dillon. Located in the northeastern portion of the state, it contains a total of 405 square miles (refer to Figure 3-6). “Swamps and rivers kept this portion of the state isolated for many years, but the construction of a railroad in the nineteenth century brought increased development.”24 Dillon County is primarily rural in character, with scattered low-density residential development. Higher density residential development, commercial, and industrial land uses are concentrated within and surrounding the incorporated urbanized areas of Dillon and Latta. Library services for cities, towns, and communities in the county are provided by the Dillon County Library, located in the City of Dillon, while healthcare services are provided by McLeod Medical Center, also located Figure 3-6 Dillon County in Dillon.
