Built in 1923 at a cost of $2,500, Pine Grove Rosenwald School was one of 500 African-American schools in S.C. funded in part by the Julius Rosenwald Foundation from 1917 to 1932. It was a two-room school typical of smaller Rosenwald schools. From 1923 to 1950, an average of 40-50 students a year attended the school in grades 1-7. It closed after the 1949-50 school year, when many districts were consolidated. The school was sold to the Pine Grove Community Development Club in 1968, then to the Richland County Recreation Commission in 2002. Pine Grove Rosenwald School was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
