History

The community was so named because a railroad branch began at the town site.

Branchville, located on the southern tip of Orangeburg County, is home to the world’s oldest railroad junction. The junction was built in 1828 and ran from Charleston to Branchville and was on the route of the country’s first scheduled train. For more than a century, Branchville’s economy was based on railroad passenger service.

The Southern Railway Passenger Depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
