History

Teterville was founded as an "oil town" sometime after the Teeter Oil Field was discovered around 1920.[2] The oil field was named in honor of James Teter who owned about 6900 acres of land in Greenwood County.[3][4] A post office was opened in Teterville in 1927, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1962.[5]
