There are extensive areas of pine lands in the vicinity, and large quantities of seaisland cotton are produced in the county. Lumber and naval stores are also important products. The first settlement on the site of the city was made in 1865 by John Parshley, of Massachusetts, who erected a large saw-mill here.
