ABSTRACT
Historical information covering the first 50 years of the South Carolina Entomological Society is summarized in this article. The information was gathered from minutes of annual meetings, board of directors meetings, and from other sources in the historical files of the Society. The major event for the Society has been the annual meeting, which has included a varied program through the years. The Society has published annual meeting proceedings and newsletters infrequently through its 50-year history, and the desire to publish a professional research journal culminated in 1984 with the launching of the Journal of Agricultural Entomology, becoming the Journal of Agricultural and Urban Entomology in 1999. The Society has met jointly several times with other nearby state entomological societies, fostering scholarship and fellowship with other regional entomologists. Several awards have been presented at annual meetings to recognize students and professionals who have made exemplary contributions to the field of entomology. Other awards have been presented to individuals who delivered superior presentations at annual meetings. The Society has offered its members many opportunities to promote entomology in South Carolina.
