Oconee Station was established in 1792 as a blockhouse on the South Carolina frontier. Troops were removed in 1799. The site also encompasses the Williams Richards House, which was built in the early 19th century as a residence and trading post.[1] The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 as Oconee Station and Richards House.[2][3][4]
