City Directories and History: Handsome ca. 1840 plantation home associated with the Red Bluff community, moved to its current location in ca. 1975. The Red Bluff on the Little Pee Dee River is six miles northeast of Clio. It was this area which attracted some of the Scots who came to the Cape Fear Colony in North Carolina and further south. This was the site of an early cotton mill. Red Hill designates an area of Marlboro County around Machine Branch and Salem. The name undoubtedly came from the long clay bank near Hunt’s Bluff. From 1896 to 1903 there was a post office at Red Hill.
Note the community of Red Bluff is recorded on Mill’s Map of 1825, see link this page!
