Early European traders in the Carolinas settled along the [[Pee Dee River]] from the 17th century, including in an isolated area called Sandy Bluff.

Crossed by several rivers, the county was organized by European Americans in 1785 soon after the [[American Revolutionary War]] and was originally known as Liberty County. However, four years later it was renamed as Marion County, in honor of [[Brigadier General]] [[Francis Marion]],<ref>{{cite book|last=Gannett|first=Henry|title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ|year=1905|publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ/page/n199 200]}}</ref> the famous "Swamp Fox" and a hero of the [[American Revolutionary War]].
