You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
((Moresources|section|date=February 2023))
Walterboro (original spelling: Walterborough) was founded in 1783, as a summer retreat for local planters looking to escape their [[malaria]]-ridden, [[South Carolina Lowcountry|Lowcountry]] [[plantations in the American South|plantations]]. The original settlement was located on a hilly area, covered with [[pine]] and [[hickory]] trees and called Hickory Valley. Two of the earliest settlers were brothers, Paul and Jacob Walter. The brothers were prosperous, plantation owners, in nearby [[Jacksonboro, South Carolina|Jacksonboro]]. Paul's small daughter Mary, was taken ill with malaria; a common disease among the families who had plantations in the [[Marsh|marshy areas]] of the Lowcountry, due to the grounds suitability for rice production. To prevent Mary from succumbing to the deadly microbe, the Walter brothers went looking for a healthier location in which to live during the summer months, and came to settle the town; with its later being named in their honor.

In 1817, Walterboro was designated as the third [[county seat]] of Colleton County, and has remained such through present-day. This designation was followed by, the construction of a [[Colleton County Courthouse|county courthouse]] and [[Prison|county jail]] in 1821. The courthouse was designed by well-known architect [[Robert Mills (architect)|Robert Mills]]. 

The town quickly spread from the original Hickory Valley location, after its population experienced a significant increase; this being fueled successively by, the town becoming the county seat in 1821, and the establishment of a [[South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company|railroad line]] that connected the city with [[Columbia, South Carolina|Columbia]] and Charleston in the 1880s.

In 1832, the Irish Catholic community in rural southern Waltersboro (at one point termed Thompson's Crossroads) established a parish called [[St. James the Greater Catholic Mission|St. James the Greater Catholic Church]], dedicated by Bishop [[John England (bishop)|John England]]. The community later was known as Catholic Hill. After the church was burned down in 1856, and the [[Emancipation Proclamation|emancipation of the slaves]] roughly a decade later, the White community largely left the area. The [[Black Catholicism|Black Catholic]] community maintained their religion for decades without a priest, before a new church was built for them in the 1890s. They became notable in the media in the 21st century, and a documentary on the community was released in 2020.<ref>((Cite web|title=Documentary features Catholic Hill|url=https://walterborolive.com/stories/documentary-features-catholic-hill,32671|access-date=2021-07-09|website=Walterboro Live|date=August 13, 2020 |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web|last=|date=2018-10-25|title=Catholic Hill|url=https://cchaps.com/2018/10/25/catholic-hill/|access-date=2021-07-09|website=Colleton County Historical and Preservation Society|language=en-US))</ref><ref>((Cite web|date=2012-05-02|title=St. James the Greater Catholic Church|url=https://www.scpictureproject.org/colleton-county/st-james-the-greater-catholic-church.html|access-date=2021-07-09|website=SC Picture Project|language=en-US))</ref><ref>((Citation|last=Wingard|first=George|title=We Came A Long Way By Faith: Catholic Hill and St. James the Greater Catholic Church|date=2020-05-06|url=https://vimeo.com/415619367|access-date=2021-07-09))</ref>

An [[Aerodrome|airfield]] was established in the 1930s. In 1942, Walterboro became home to the [[Lowcountry Regional Airport|Walterboro Army Airfield]], a sub-base of [[Columbia Metropolitan Airport|Columbia Army Air Base]], and part of the national network of army air training facilities erected across the [[Military history of the United States during World War II|U.S. during World War II]]. The base was established for the purpose of providing advanced air-combat training, to [[Fighter pilot|fighter]] and [[bomber]] groups. It also hosted the largest [[camouflage]] school in the United States, as well as, a 250-person [[prisoner of war]] camp. 

In 1944, the airfield changed command and became an advanced [[Combat|combat training]] base for individual fighters, primarily the black trainees graduating from [[Sharpe Field|Tuskegee Army Airfield]] in [[Tuskegee, Alabama]]. Over 500 of the famed [[Tuskegee Airmen]] trained at Walterboro Army Airfield, between April 1944 and October 1945, including individuals training as replacement pilots for the [[332d Fighter-Interceptor Squadron|332nd Fighter-Interceptor Squadron]], along with the entire [[447th Air Expeditionary Group|447th Bombardment Group]]. The base closed in October 1945, returning to its origins as a local airfield.

The establishment of [[Interstate 95 in South Carolina|Interstate 95]] in the 1960s, made the town a prime overnight stop on the road to Florida or New York.

Presently, Walterboro is dotted with [[National Register of Historic Places listings in South Carolina|historic homes]] dating back to 1820, and a downtown area that has kept many of its historic buildings. The city has become increasingly known as an [[Antique|antiquing]] destination, and is a popular day-trip from Charleston and [[Beaufort, South Carolina|Beaufort]].
