In the early 1800's, Bishopville was a trading center and polling place for Upper Salem in old Claremont County and was laid out on land acquired by Dr. Jacques Bishop. A post office was established here in 1824. The town was chartered in 1888. When Lee County was organized in 1902, commemorating Gen. Robert E. Lee, Bishopville became the county seat.
