Aiken County South Carolina Historical Facts[edit | edit source]

Aiken County is named for William Aiken (1779-1831), founder and president of the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company and father of South Carolina Governor William Aiken, Jr. (who served from 1844-1846).[3] The South Carolina Railroad first brought large numbers of people to the area in the 1830s when it completed a line between Charleston and Hamburg (located on the Savannah River).[4] The creation of a county in the area was first considered in 1857 (under the name Calhoun) but the Bill failed. Aiken was originally going to be named Woodbury and then Randolph.[5]Learn more about the history of Aiken County from the South Carolina State Library or from Carolana.com.

Vital Records[edit | edit source]

Birth, marriage, and death records were not recorded by South Carolina until the 1900s, thus leaving a lack of vital records. Substitute records, when available, are used to obtain this information. These substitute records including newspapers, court records have been added to this section, when applicable.

Birth[edit | edit source]

State-wide birth registration began in 1915. For a copy of a birth from 1915 or later, contact the South Carolina Department of Health. The Aiken County Health Department also has copies but they provide only an abbreviated form with limited information. For more information, see the South Carolina Vital Records page.

Marriage[edit | edit source]

In South Carolina, marriage licenses were not required by local governments until 1 July 1911. However, in the 1700s, the Church of England parish churches were required to record all marriages - even if the couple were not members of the denomination. Not all churches recorded these marriages and some have not survived. See South Carolina Vital Records for more information.

The Aiken County probate court holds marriage licenses issued from 1 July 1911 to the present. Statewide registration of marriages began in July 1950 and the South Carolina Division of Vital Records has copies of licenses issued after 1 July 1950 through November 2009.

Newspapers are used as a substitute to locate marriage information. See South Carolina Newspapers.

Marriages - Indexes

  • There are several online marriage indexes containing miscellaneous marriage records found in some counties of South Carolina listed on the South Carolina Vital Records page.
Death[edit | edit source]

State-wide death registration began in 1915. For a copy of the death certificates from 1915 or later, contact the South Carolina Department of Health. The Aiken County Health Department only has copies for deaths occurring in the last 5 years.  For more information, see the South Carolina Vital Records page.
