About Ninety Six, SC

Ninety Six was established on the frontier in the early 18th century. For a time it was known as "Jews Land" because some prominent Sephardic Jewish families of London bought extensive property there. The Salvador and DaCosta families bought 200,000 acres (810 km 2), intending to help some poor Sephardic families relocate from London to the New World. The settlement became the capital city of the Ninety-Six District when it was established in July 1769. Since the late 20th century, the National Park Service has operated the Ninety Six National Historic Site at the site of the original settlement and fort.
