Text: Here was located the provincial town of Moncks Corner, deriving its name from Thomas Monck, an Englishman, who in 1735 purchased Mitton Plantation, and upon whose land the town was settled. It became an important commercial center prior to the Revolution. Upon completion of the Northeastern Railroad in 1857, the new railroad station was called Moncks Corner after the old town.
