Former South Carolina Resident re: Princeton:
1990: 5,059 total; 266 bl. [MCD; town might be different but isn’t in census]
I’m surprised not to see South Carolina represented on your list yet. The clearest example that comes to mind is Princeton, SC, at the corner of Laurens, Greenville, and Anderson counties. The African American residents of that community were driven out in March 1933, and to the best of my knowledge, it remains all white today.
