It was named for the Duke of Marlborough when the county was established under British rule, early 1700’s. I know the place well, spent a summer or two down there and in Florence, SC with my dad, he was supervising getting new textile mills up and running in the 70’s. At one time and they may still, the big street festival for Bennettsville, the county seat, was the annual Chitlin Strut. I tried chitlins there the one and only time I’ve ever eaten them.
