Newberry
County was formed in 1785 as a part of Ninety Six District, with the
county seat in the town of Newberry. The community was named for
Capt. John Newberry, Revolutionary War officer. This part of the
country was settled largely by Scotch-Irish, English, and German
immigrants in the mid-1700's. The German region was given the name
Dutch Fork. This title is still carried to this day. Historians John
Belton O'Neall (1795-1863) and David Duncan Wallace (1874-1951) were
Newberry County natives, as was governor and U. S. Senator Coleman
L. Blease (1868-1942).

Please understand that,
while I do have a genealogical connection to Newberry County, I am
not a resident there. I do not have records or data with which I could
supply you information about your ancestors. Further, I cannot do
research on your behalf.
My "job" as an unpaid County Host volunteer,
is to update this web site with new information as often as time
permits.
