Pee Dee The Pee Dee region of South Carolina is the northeastern corner of the state. The main area code is 843. It is the area of the lower watershed of the Pee Dee River, named after the Pee Dee Native American tribe that occupied this area in historic times. They were descended from a culture of the same name that occupied the area as part of the South Appalachian Mississippian Culture, from about 1000 to 1400, leaving some centers for unknown reasons. Two contemporary tribes recognized by the state are located in Marlboro County.
