==History==
The original town was laid out as ''Williamsburg'' by the Lords Proprietors in colonial times. But a lone, unusually large white pine was found along the Black River. Since tall white pines were ideal for use as masts for ships, it was claimed by the Crown on behalf of the king. The broad arrow mark was carved into the tree to prevent any colonists from cutting it. Though white pines are native to the Appalachians as far south as Georgia, it is the only tree of King George’s ever found in the South. Over time, the county kept the name Williamsburg, but the county seat became known as ''The King's Tree,'' giving rise to its modern name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.williamsburgsc.org/history.htm )〕
