Aiken County's early history centers on a railroad project begun in Charleston in 1828 to span 135 miles to Hamburg. William Aiken, first president, died in Charleston in 1831, and the town of Aiken was laid out and incorporated in 1835. The first line ran along Railroad Avenue and Augusta highway before a later cut between Park and Colleton Avenues eased the grade for the town's first steam train.
