The district was occupied for thousands of years by succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples. By the time of European encounter, Siouan-speaking tribes, such as the Cheraw and Catawba, as well as the Pee Dee, inhabited the Piedmont area above the fall line.
The Orangeburg Judicial District was chartered by European Americans in 1769 from a mostly unorganized upland area between the Congaree and Savannah rivers. A county, initially of the same name but later called Orange, was organized within the district but deorganized in 1791, after the American Revolutionary War.
The southwest portion bordering on the Savannah River, about half of Orangeburg District, was separated and organized as Barnwell District in 1800. In 1804 the northern third of the district was separated to form the new Lexington District, which gained another, smaller portion of Orangeburg District in 1832.
During the nineteenth century, the districts and counties were developed chiefly as cotton plantations for short-staple cotton. This development followed the invention of the cotton gin in the late eighteenth century, which made the processing of short-staple cotton profitable. The county became a center of labor by black slaves on the plantations, who were transported from coastal areas and the Upper South to cultivate and process cotton. Those brought from the coastal areas were likely of the Gullah culture and language. The enslaved African Americans greatly outnumbered the white planters and non-slaveholding whites. Reflecting the patterns of nineteenth-century settlement, the area is still chiefly agricultural and majority-African American in population.
In 1868, under the revised state constitution during the Reconstruction era, South Carolina districts were organized as counties. Resident voters were enabled to elect their state representatives rather than having them chosen by the state legislature, as was done previously. Election of representatives by the state legislature had kept the districts dominated by the elite owners of major plantations in the Low Country and elsewhere. The changes in rules expanded participation in the franchise by more male residents. Emancipation of slaves after the war under newly ratified federal constitutional amendments resulted in freedmen voting. Using voter intimidation, white Democrats took control of the state legislature by the end of the century; they passed state electoral laws and a new constitution that essentially disfranchised most blacks, a situation that lasted until after the federal legislation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
A small western portion of Orangeburg County was annexed in 1871 to the newly formed Aiken County during the Reconstruction era.
In 1908 the northern portion of the County along the Congaree River was separated and included in the newly formed Calhoun County, with its seat at Saint Matthews. In 1910 a small western portion of Berkeley County, around Holly Hill and Eutawville, was annexed to Orangeburg County, thus bringing the county to its present size.

Native American entities
Orangeburg County is home to four state-recognized Native American entities.
State-recognized tribes
The Beaver Creek Indian Tribe, headquartered in Salley, is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and state-recognized tribe, with members primarily located in Aiken County. The tribe was awarded this status by the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs on January 27, 2006.[17] The tribe primarily claims descent from a family who settled in Long Cane Creek (McCormick County) from Virginia in 1760 with its South Carolina progenitor Lazarus Chavis born in Edgefield County.[citation needed] The entity is not presently federally recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs[18]
The Santee Indian Organization, headquartered in Holly Hill, is a nonprofit organization and state-recognized tribe.[19] The tribe was awarded this status by the South Carolina Commission of Minority Affairs on March 15, 2006.[20] The Santee Indian Organization claims descent from the historic Santee people, not to be confused with the similarly named Santee Dakota people. The tribe is not federally recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.[18]
State-recognized group
The Pee Dee Indian Nation of Beaver Creek, based in Gilbert, is a nonprofit organization and state-recognized tribal group, not to be confused with a state recognized tribe, which separated from the Beaver Creek Indian Tribe in 1999. The group publicly announced its absorption into Pee Dee Indian Nation on social media.[citation needed]
State-recognized special interest organization
The Pine Hill Indian Community Development Initiative (PHICDI), based in Pine Hill, is a state-recognized special interest organization, not to be confused with a state-recognized tribe.[21] The organization was created by the Pine Hill Indian Community, or Pine Hill Indian Tribe, in 2018, which self-identifies as an indigenous tribe, to bring food security, health access, and community development to western Orangeburg County.[22] The Pine Hill Indian Tribe itself is identified by the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs as an unrecognized tribe.[23] Since 2003, South Carolina has required "Tribes" to meet specific criteria through an Administrative Law Process for formal recognition.[24] The federal government has its own formal criteria for tribal recognition.[25] In 2004, the group applied for formal recognition within South Carolina as a "Tribe" but was denied this status, as it did not meet the state's required standards to prove its historical basis.[26][27] While the Pine Hill Indian Tribe sometimes cites honorary or ceremonial acknowledgments and publications from state and federal entities as proof of legal recognition as a sovereign indigenous nation, these forms of acknowledgment do not carry the weight of law or confer formal legal recognition.[22][28] The group is not recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.[22]
