Editing Hemingway, South Carolina (section)

==History==
Hemingway was created from a crossroads community named Lamberts in 1911 by Dr. W. C. Hemingway, in an effort to secure a depot for the proposed [[Seaboard Coast Line Railroad]], which was to run from [[Mullins, South Carolina|Mullins]] to [[Andrews, South Carolina|Andrews]]. Land owned by Dr. Hemingway was surveyed and the lots auctioned off. Subsequently, the railroad established a Hemingway depot, and the post office name was changed to Hemingway.

With rail access, Hemingway grew into a market town for local agricultural products. Cotton declined after 1921, when the [[boll weevil]] arrived, but was already being replaced by flue-cured tobacco as the primary money crop for farmers. Other local products were [[naval stores]] from the pine forests (later replaced by timbering), corn, soybeans, wheat, and vegetables.

Hemingway is near the [[Pee Dee River]], which was the main commercial route for the area until the coming of the railroad. Snows Lake is near Hemingway. This is also a site in the [[American Revolution|Revolutionary War]] camp of US war hero General [[Francis Marion]]. The river was named by early explorers after the [[Pee Dee]] tribe. A major tributary is the [[Waccamaw River]], likewise named.

[[Pleasant Hill Consolidated School]] was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1998.<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2010a}}</ref>
