At one time this section was principally owned by the DuBose's, who came from the Huguenot settlement on the Santee River and settled on Lynches River around 1756. Bishop Gregg mentions the bloody struggle during the Revolution that was carried on between the DuBoses (Whigs) and the Tories near Wilmington-Manchester RR (now the ACL railroad).
