Historically, county government in South Carolina has been fairly weak. [5] The 1895 Constitution made no provision for local government, effectively reducing counties to creatures of the state. Each county's delegation to the General Assembly, comprising one senator and at least one representative, also doubled as its county council.
Other historians claim Berkeley County may have been named in honor of Sir William Berkeley (1610–1677) [citation needed], who was born near London, graduated from Oxford University in 1629 and was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1642. He served as Governor until 1652 and was reappointed Governor in 1660.
