Happy from Thoroughbred Country, South Carolina!

Did you know that the Bamberg County Courthouse hasn’t always stood where it does today? Constructed in 1897, this historic building was carefully moved to its present location when US Highway 301 was relocated in 1950. Moving the massive building, with red brick walls two feet thick, cost $25,000.

The town of Bamberg was established around 1832 with the construction of the 136-mile South Carolina Railroad. Bamberg County was created in 1897 from the eastern portion of Barnwell County and named for Francis Marion Bamberg (1838–1905). The railroad had a major role in the development of the area, turning Bamberg from a cypress swamp into a commercial center that connected nearby farmers to larger markets and fueled the expansion of the county. Today, Bamberg remains a unique part of Thoroughbred Country, with a rich agricultural past, Civil War history, and active local community.
