Barnwell County was called Winton County in 1785. The County was then named for John Barnwell, a Revolutionary War figure in 1800, the same year Barnwell died.
Barnwell County grew with the introduction of the SC railroad. The railroad linked Charleston with the old town of Hamburg on the Savannah River. Because of the railroad, the Barnwell County towns of Williston and Blackville grew up alongside the railroad tracks in the mid-1800’s. Although trains no longer run through these towns, the history of the railroad is still apparent.
Barnwell County was home to several influential state politicians, namely Senator Edgar A Brown (1888-1975), state Speaker of the House Solomon Blatt (1895-1986) and former governor Joseph E. Harley (1880-1942). Collectively they were known as the “Barnwell Ring.”
Barnwell County is comprised of 548 square miles of land with an approximate population of 23,404 according to a 2004 US Census estimate.
History of Barnwell
The City of Barnwell was known as “Red Hill” or the “Village” in its earlier days. People began to settle in Barnwell by 1800, but it was not incorporated as a town until 1829.

Barnwell has a population of 5,035. Barnwell is now the County seat of Barnwell County.
