Elgin is a town in Kershaw County, South Carolina. Originally named Jeffers after a Mr. Jeffers who operated the post office out of his home as far back as 1832, the town's name was changed to Blaney in honor of an executive of the Seaboard Railroad Company in the 1840s. In the 1960s, its name was changed to Elgin after the Elgin Watch Company opened a plant there.
