Round O, South Carolina
Round O is an unincorporated community in Colleton County, South Carolina, United States. Its elevation is 36 feet. It is located near the intersection of Cottageville Highway and Round O Road.
According to tradition, the community received its name from a local Native American whose name was too long to pronounce, hence the name Round O, and painted his torso with a circular design.
On J. G. W. De Brahm's 1757 "Map of South Carolina and a Part of Georgia," a round geographical feature labeled "Round O Savannah" is clearly visible west of the Edisto River in St. Bartholomew's Parish.
