The town was known as Greeneville after the Revolution and remained the seat of justice until the formation of Darlington, Marlboro and Chesterfield Districts. Circuit courts and elections were held for a while longer. Back Side: LONG BLUFF At a Circuit Court held here on November 15,1774, more than a year before the Declaration of Independance, the Grand Jury of the Cheraws District denied the right of Parliament to levy taxes on them and declared themselves ready to defend with their lives and fortunes the right to obey only the laws made by their own elected representatives. |
