Berkeley County, South Carolina
Berkeley County sits in the southeastern part of South Carolina, just north of Charleston. The county’s got a bit of everything – forests, swamps, and suburban sprawl. Moncks Corner is the county seat.
It’s mostly rural here. But new developments are popping up all over. The county’s growing fast, attracting folks from all over. It’s close enough to Charleston for an easy commute. But it’s far enough away to have its own identity.
The Cooper River runs through it so it has great spots for kayaking. The eastern half is Francis Marion National Forest. But the highlight is the massive man-made Lake Moultrie. History’s everywhere you look. Old plantations dot the landscape. Berkeley County’s a place in transition, balancing growth with its rural roots.
