It was named after Henry Laurens, the third president of the Continental Congress. One of nine modern counties of the Colonial Ninety-Six District, Laurens County hosted more "official" (i.e. officially recognized and contemporaneously documented by competent governments) battles than did half of the original colonies. The Battle of Musgrove Mill was the first time during the American Revolution that regular soldiers of Great Britain were defeated in battle by militia. Those battles in modern Laurens County were: #Fort Lindley/Lindler #Widow Kellet's Block House #Musgrove's Mill #Farrow's Station #Duncan Creek Meeting House #Indian Creek #Hammond's Store #Fort Williams (not to be confused with Williamson's fort some 25 miles south in Greenwood County) #Cedar Springs (begun in Cross Anchor SC, then an old-fashioned "Hoss Chase" of fifty eight miles through four counties and ended in NC after about 30 hours!) #Mud Lick Creek #Hayes' Station.
