Flag Park was created through a collaborative effort of the City of Bishopville, a Palmetto Pride Grant, Pee Dee Tourism, the SC Cotton Museum, and private donations to show support for men and women on active duty in the military. Ten flag poles and other amenities were donated by the Bishopville High School Class of 1967 to honor all veterans and to express gratitude to past and present Lee County legislative delegates Senator William Green DesChamps, T. Bruce Smith, Representative Isaac C. Joe, and Grady A. Brown for their dedicated service and representation of Lee County residents. The American flag and flagpole were donated by the Woodman of the World, and flags representing the state, the six branches of the military, and POWs were donated by citizens.
