Stateburg is located within a larger area in which many notable colonial & early South Carolinians owned homes to which they escaped the summertime malaria & other illnesses, High Hills of Santee. In the 1780s, after the South Carolina General Assembly decided to move the state capital from Charleston to the central part of the state, Stateburg lost by only a few votes to Granby's Ferry, a small town on the Congaree River near the confluence of the Broad and Saluda rivers. Granby's Ferry soon was renamed Columbia, which is still the capital.
In 1785, Stateburg became the county seat of Claremont County and served as such until Claremont County was dissolved in 1800.[5]
