Pine Hill A.M.E. Church was founded in 1876 in what was then Marion County, before Dillon County was created in 1910. First located on S.C. Hwy. 34, the church acquired this site in 1891 when Alfred Franklin Page (1863-1929) and his wife Laura Willis Page (1886-1963) donated 1.97 acres, and the congregation built a new church here shortly afterward. The present sanctuary was built in 1977. Pine Hill Rosenwald School, one of the first ten Rosenwald schools in the state, was built here in 1917-18. One of 500 rural black schools in S.C. funded in part by the Julius Rosenwald Foundation from 1917 to 1932, it was a frame two-room school that, with two to four teachers, reached a peak enrollment of 208 students in grades 1-7 in 1938-39. The school closed in 1957 and burned in 1977.
