The Turks of South Carolina, also known as Sumter Turks or Turks of Sumter County,[1] are a group of people who have lived in the general area of Sumter County, South Carolina since the late 18th century. According to Professor Glen Browder, "they have always been a tight-knit and isolated community of people who identified as being of Turkish descent".[2]
As of 2018, they numbered no more than 400 in the town of Dalzell.[3]
