Text of marker: "PALMETTO. Palmetto was named by a member of the Palmetto Guards, a Regiment from South Carolina enroute to the Mexican War. This was in appreciation of the hospitality shown them by the community while encamped here in January, 1847 [Apparently, this is an old U.S. Works Progress Administration Marker that has been removed from its former pole, refurbished, and mounted on a marble base in front of a monument erected along U.S. 29. If not an original WPA marker, the numbering system indicates that it is a replica of an actual marker that once stood.]" - External Identifiers:
