McColl is a town in Marlboro County, in the Piedmont area of South Carolina, United States, located within 1.5 miles of the border with North Carolina. The population was 2,498 at the 2000 census.

Based here are two state-recognized tribes of Pee Dee people, descended from the historic people who occupied the area at the time of English colonization. These are the Marlboro, Chesterfield, Darlington County Pee Dee Indian Tribe, recognized in 2005, and the Pee Dee Tribe of South Carolina, recognized in 2006.[3]

History

This area is within territory occupied by the Pee Dee culture of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture for several hundred years.

Their descendants formed the historic Pee Dee tribe known to Anglo-Europeans at the time of contact and colonization. In the 21st century, several Pee Dee tribes are recognized by the state of South Carolina, and two independent groups are based in McColl.

Some of this area was developed for the cultivation of short-staple cotton in the antebellum era after the invention of the cotton gin. The area was also a center of lumbering and turpentine production in the early 20th century.

The town was named for D. D. McColl, a businessperson.[6]
