== Fun facts ==
* In the 1960s and early 1970s, researchers identified numerous sites in South Carolina and the Southeast that they associated with what they have classified as South Appalachian Mississippian culture. It developed later, about 1000 CE, later than did some of the largest settlements to the northwest that were closer to the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
* Marlboro County is one of South Carolina's strongest Democrat holdouts, having only voted for another party twice since 1900 - Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond in 1948, and Richard Nixon in 1972.
* Blenheim Ginger Ale was originally bottled in Blenheim, with the local mineral water.
* Marlboro School of Discovery is a magnet school in Clio and is part of the Marlboro County School District.
* Marlboro County is home to the Pee Dee Indian Tribe. They are a relatively small American Indian tribe that has occupied the Pee Dee region for several centuries. The tribe was officially recognized by the Government of South Carolina around the beginning of the 21st century, they have been seeking federal acknowledgment since 1976. While today the tribe consists of just over 200 enrolled members, they were once a significant cultural and political power in the region. Their profound influence and continual presence in the area is why the region bears the Pee Dee name. Since 1976, the tribe’s official seat of government has operated on land awarded to the tribe in Marlboro County.
