Wilcox County was relatively young when the Civil War (1861-65) began, but its citizens supported the war effort by sending their sons and husbands to fight. Confederate president Jefferson Davis camped on May 8, 1865, at Abbeville during his flight through Wilcox County at the end of the war, two nights before his capture by Union forces in Irwinville.

A drain line carries waste materials to a sewage treatment plant. A drain line also refers to a tube or pipe from a water-conditioning unit that carries backwash water, regeneration waste or rinse water to a drain or waste system. Drain lines are a part of a drain waste vent (DWV) system and are used to expel sewage, grey water and industrial waste fluids. Drain lines are sometimes vented to maintain sufficient air pressure inside the drain lines to aid the free flow of waste matter.
