Ninety Six National Historic Site, also known as Old Ninety Six and Star Fort, is a United States National Historic Site located about 60 miles (96 kilometers) south of Greenville, South Carolina. The historic site was listed on the National Register in 1969,〔 declared to be a National Historic Landmark in 1973,〔 and established as a National Historic Site in 1976 to preserve the original site of Ninety Six, South Carolina, a small town established in the early 18th century. It encompasses 1,022 acres of property. ==History== The most common proposed etymology of the toponym Ninety Six is a reference to the distance in miles between the location and the Cherokee town of Keowee. Supporters of such an etymology have to struggle with the fact that the distance between the two locales is 78 miles. David P. George, Jr., has advanced the alternative hypothesis that Ninety Six is a reinterpretation of “the nine and six,” a reference to two sets of southerly flowing streams—nine tributaries of (Marion ) and (Henley ) creeks and six tributaries of (Thompsons Creek )—in an area in which the Saluda River tends to be fed by north/easterly flowing streams.
