Darlington: The origin of the name of this county is uncertain, but it may have been named for Darlington, England. The county was formed in 1785, with the county seat at Darlington, and until 1800 it was a part of the Cheraws District. Parts of Darlington County were removed to form Florence County in 1888 and Lee County in 1902. This area was settled in the mid-eighteenth century by Welsh, Scotch-Irish, and English farmers, who grew cotton primarily. In more recent years the county has been best known for the stock car races which take place at the Darlington Raceway. David Rogerson Williams (1776-1830), governor and scientific experimenter, was a native of Darlington; he is remembered for introducing the mule to Southern agriculture. Other prominent Darlington residents were industrialists James Lide Coker (1837-1918) and David R. Coker (1870-1938) and novelists Annie Greene Nelson (1902-1993) and Elizabeth Boatwright Coker (1909-1993).

Within the last several years, the Nettles House roof was replaced; the exterior painted, and with a Chimney Sweep, the fire places should be in good working condition.  With interior renovations, the Nettles House, with approx. 3800 interior sq. feet, could be someone's "dream come true", an elegant, southern style home with all the comforts of today...  The circular porch wraps around the front of the Nettles House and its right side; its wideness offers spacious room for morning coffee, home picnics, and evening relaxation. Large spacious rooms offer a uniqueness not found in standard homes built today.
