Random information on the term “XCVI”:
Ninety Six is a town in Greenwood County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 1,998 at the 2010 census.
Ninety Six is located in eastern Greenwood County at 34°10′24″N 82°1′18″W / 34.17333°N 82.02167°W / 34.17333; -82.02167 (34.173211, -82.021710). South Carolina Highway 34 passes through the town as its Main Street; it leads west 9 miles (14 km) to Greenwood, the county seat, and east 27 miles (43 km) to Newberry. Lake Greenwood State Park is 5 miles (8 km) northeast of town, and Ninety Six National Historic Site is 2 miles (3 km) south of the center of town.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Ninety Six has a total area of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2), all land.
There is much confusion about the name, “Ninety Six”, and the true origin may never be known. Speculation has led to the mistaken belief that it was 96 miles (154 km) to the nearest Cherokee settlement of Keowee; to a counting of creeks crossing the main road leading from Lexington, South Carolina, to Ninety-Six; to an interpretation of a Welsh expression, nant-sych, meaning “dry gulch”. No one is able to confirm that founder Robert Goudey (sic) was Welsh, English, Scottish, or German. An examination of early maps indicates markings such as “30” and “60” and “90” at different points, possibly indicating chains, a surveying measurement. Since Ninety-Six was located in Clarendon Parish, it is possible that parish linear measurements as used in England were used on colonial maps to measure distances in “chains”. In England, according to a British and Welsh booklet designating linear measurements, parish maps used a rule of “4 chains to the inch”. In using that parish rule on an early map of colonial South Carolina, 90 “chains” on a map would probably cover approximately 24 inches (610 mm), the map distance from “Saxe Gotha” (modern Lexington, South Carolina) to Ninety-Six. Using the same measurements for the distance from Ninety-Six to the Savannah River, the measurement would be approximately 2.5 inches (64 mm), or (very) roughly 6 “chains”, hence 96. Even so, the origin of the name “Ninety-Six” remains a mystery.
