The lumber industry provided jobs for many people. The Colleton Cypress Company established a town called Colleton in the upper part of the county,which at one time boasted a population of 400.
Wiggins is another example of a lumber town. Both communities had electricity,tennis courts,running water,and an ice house,unheard of luxuries for the place and time. The Wiggins depot is one of the buildings left of a once thriving lumber town of Wiggins.

That is a nice picture. I hope to drive down to see it soon.
