Due West, South Carolina

Due West is a town in Abbeville County, South Carolina.

Some say the name is a mispronunciation of "DeWitt's Corner", while others believe the town was due west on a pioneer trail.

One of them, the Chickamauga Cherokee, continued fighting area settlers for another 17 years.

32.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 14.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Due West is the home of Erskine College, a private Christian liberal arts college affiliated with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church.
