Orangeburgh Migrations – Georgia
Early migrations from the Orangeburgh District in South Carolina to Georgia occurred primarily in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as settlers sought fertile new land for cotton cultivation. Georgia’s post-Revolutionary land policies and decentralized land lotteries drew families looking for inexpensive acreage as Georgia expanded into lands ceded by the Native American population.
