Reevesville is a predominantly agrarian community located between the banks of Cattle Creek and Polk Swamp near the Edisto River in Upper Dorchester County. The town’s name originates from its time as a once bustling railroad community known as “Reeves Station”. South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company built a railroad through the area in 1832 and shortly after, became known as “Reeves Station” for local farmer, David D. Reeves. Reeves hailed from one of the area’s original settling families and supplied wood as a source of fuel to the first locomotives to pass through the area. The Reeves name is associated with the area as early as 1825 as seen on Robert Mills Atlas Map.
In 1904, an African-American man called General Lee was lynched by a mob after he knocked on a white woman's door. [6]
