The forerunner of the Daniel Morgan Chapter of the SCSSAR was the Spartanburg Chapter, which was organized in 1926.  It was the sixth chapter organized after the South Carolina Society started organizing chapters in the 1920s.  After periods of inactivity, application for a charter for the Daniel Morgan Chapter was made 9 May 1949.  The charter was granted on 22 May 1950.  Again inactivity caused the chapter to reorganize on 8 April 1957.

Since 1957, the Daniel Morgan Chapter has been serving Spartanburg, Union and Cherokee counties.  The chapter has also been an active part of the South Carolina Society.  Three of its members have served as president of the SCSSAR: William D. Smith, 1970-71; Lt. Col. (Ret.) Samuel S. Wood, Sr., 1975-76; and Judge Charles M. Pace, 1981-82.  Compatriot Carl May served as state secretary during the years of 1975-76.

During the tenure of Compatriot Wood, the Colonial Ball was started as a biannual affair.  Also during this time, work on the Blue Book started.  The Blue Book was a roster of the first 1,477 members of the State Society.  In 2003, State Historian Dr. Lynwood D. Jordan, Sr. brought this work up to date when he edited a chronological and alphabetical membership roll of the 2,895 members in a book titled SCSSAR Membership Roster with Historical Notes, 1889-2003.  In 1977, the State Society began publishing a quarterly known as The Palmetto Patriot.  Compatriot Jordan was the editor from 1990 to 1996. 

In 1994 the Daniel Morgan Chapter became the local coordinating sponsor of the annual anniversary celebrations of the Battle of Cowpens. These celebrations are held in January each year.  A morning ceremony honors General Daniel Morgan at his statue in downtown Spartanburg and an afternoon wreath laying ceremony at the Washington Light Infantry monument on the battlefield honors the patriots who fought at the Battle of Cowpens. 

In both 2008 and 2009, the Daniel Morgan Chapter was recognized by the South Carolina Society as the Outstanding Chapter of the previous year. 

The chapter continues to promote the programs and ideals of the Sons of the American Revolution by providing sponsorship of two Children of the American Revolution chapters, actively participating in memorial services and celebrations, presenting 10 ROTC and JROTC medals annually at local high schools and Wofford College, recognizing local Eagle Scouts, and by providing leadership on the state level.  Currently, the Daniel Morgan Chapter has five members who serve as state officers and committee chairmen.
