Located about midway between Charleston and Columbia, the community of Bowman, South Carolina was founded in 1887 by Samuel Dibble. Bowman has thrived as a farming community since its inception. The rich soil and favorable climate created a wonderful environment to grow crops, raise livestock and build a town. From its scattering of one-man farms, homesteads and small mercantile stores grew a prosperous community with state-of-the-times businesses, banks, stately Southern homes, picturesque churches and modern schools. The Twentieth Century brought many changes including the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918, World War I, the Depression, the Boll Weevil Invasion, World War II, technological advancements, and the migration of workers from the farms to the cities. Through the use of archival documents and photographs, the authors blend rare historic images with contemporary photographs to chronicle the region's history from times past to the present.
