Mullins is found in Marion County, located in the northeastern corner of South Carolina—in the area of the state known as the Pee Dee, after the rivers that run through it.

The City of Mullins was populated in the 1840s when the Mullins Train Depot was built, however the city was not chartered until 1872.  

Today, the population of Mullins is 5,029.  Building on its farming heritage as South Carolina's largest tobacco market, Mullins hosts the Golden Leaf Festival during the fourth weekend of September each year.  In 1998, the South Carolina Tobacco Museum opened.

The Mullins Train Depot was built in 1847 and now houses offices for the Mullins Chamber of Commerce and SC Tobacco Museum.  The Depot is also home to a farmers market during selected Saturdays during the year.  The Tobacco Museum has recently been featured in several publications including South Carolina Living, The State newspaper, and other travel guides.  Visitors from the United States and Europe have toured the museum---the only one of its kind in South Carolina.

The downtown historic district includes several homes on Wine Street, once home to many tobacconists.  Old Brick Warehouse, built in the 1890s, and some downtown churches also make up the historic district.
