Pendleton District, named after US Judge Henry Pendleton, is a former judicial district in South Carolina. It existed as a county or a district from 7 March 1789 to 20 December 1826. In the colonial period, the land around the coast was divided into parishes corresponding to the parishes of the Church of England. There were also several counties that had judicial and electoral functions. As people settled the backcountry, judicial districts and additional counties were formed. This structure continued and grew after the Revolutionary War. In 1800, all counties were renamed as districts. In 1868, the districts were converted back to counties. The South Carolina Department of Archives and History has maps that show the boundaries of counties, districts, and parishes starting in 1682.Pendleton County was created on 7 March 1789 in the former Indian lands. It included the current Anderson and Pickens counties and all but about 70 square miles (180 km2) along the Chattooga River of Oconee County. The land along the Chattooga belonged the Cherokee and Creek peoples. Pendleton County was attached to Abbeville. On 19 February 1791, Pendleton County became part of the new Washington District, which also included most of Greenville County. On 1 January 1800, Washington District was disbanded. Pendleton County and Greenville County were renamed as districts. On 19 December 1816, Pendleton District gained the Indian lands along the Chattooga. Finally, on 20 December 1826, the Pendleton District was abolished and replaced by Anderson and Pickens Districts. Pickens District incorporated both the current Pickens and Oconee Counties.The court house and jail for Pendleton District were in Pendleton, South Carolina.

The Boone-Douthit House is located on the outskirts of Pendleton, South Carolina. The house is an excellent example of how an “upstate” (western) South Carolina plantation house has been expanded as its occupant's needs changed over time, and/or as the occupants pursued other interests. In addition to the main home, the site also includes a large barn, a secondary house, a building that may have once served as a doctor's office, a small storage building, and another small building that may have been used for silkworm culture, all of which contribute to the site's historical significance. The house is thought to have been constructed around 1849. A site visit in 2012 confirmed that much impressive restoration has recently taken place. Limited views of this historic landmark are available from the public highway. The Boone-Douthit House was listed in the National Register on July 3, 1997.
