Calhoun County, South Carolina
Calhoun County is right in the heart of South Carolina. St. Matthews is the county seat with that classic small-town feel. You won’t find any big cities here. Just friendly folks and wide-open spaces.
Lake Marion and Congaree River forms its northeastern border. Both are hotspots for fishing and boating. The county’s roots run deep in agriculture. Peaches and cotton fields are a common sight.
The county’s named after John C. Calhoun, a famous South Carolina statesman. Historians dig the old homes and churches scattered around. It’s quiet, sure, but that’s the charm. Calhoun County’s a slice of rural South Carolina at its finest.
