Eutaw Plantation was in Berkeley County until 1908, when the state redrew county lines and placed it in Orangeburg County.

In 1939 the Santee Cooper hydroelectric power development program claimed the Eutaw Plantation lands in what was at the time the largest land clearing program in US history. All of Eutaw Plantation now lies beneath the man-made Lake Marion.
