==History==
The county is named for [[Wade Hampton III]], one of the country's leading slaveowners and a [[Lieutenant General]] for the [[Confederate States of America|Confederacy]] during the [[American Civil War]]. After the war, he led the [[Redeemers]] and [[Red Shirts (United States)|Red Shirts]] on a campaign to reestablish Democratic rule South Carolina. At the end of the [[Reconstruction era]] he became Governor and then U.S. Senator from South Carolina.

The county had a peak of population in 1910, when agriculture was still the mainstay of the economy. Thousands of African Americans left after that for urban areas, especially in the North, in the [[Great Migration (African American)|Great Migration]]. The mechanization of agriculture reduced farm jobs.
