Salters and Walter Steele, who left their former home of Charleston to escape the racial discrimination they felt subject to in that environment. Amos Williams joined them as a signer of Lincolnville's original charter. Riding the local South Carolina Special train to examine properties for sale by the [[South Carolina Railroad|South Carolina Railroad Company]], the men settled on this area that was then known as "Pump Pond" for its use as a train stopping point for water, wood and coal.<ref name="History of Lincolnville SC">[http://www.lincolnvillesc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45&Itemid=54 History of Lincolnville SC]</ref> The men signed a contract with the railroad company to purchase {{convert|620|acre|km2}} for $1,000.<ref>[http://www.discoversouthcarolina.com/products/26707.aspx Lincolnville, SC]</ref> After paying the agreed amount in full, a charter for establishment of the town was applied for and later received on December 14, 1889.
