When you think of the best Southern small towns, what comes to mind? Charming and bustling historic downtown’s, magnificent homes with sweeping piazzas, and warm people who extend the kind of hospitality you can’t find anywhere else in the world. Those characteristics are all right here in Lake City, a 150-year-old eastern South Carolina town located a short drive from world-class cities, spectacular beaches, and breathtaking mountains.
But what makes Lake City truly different is that at the same time we honor our history – including our rich tradition of agriculture and contribution to South Carolina’s history and economy – we are charting our future. By recognizing and building on what makes our town special, the Lake City community is working tirelessly to preserve the charm and simplicity of small-town life while opening up a world of opportunities for everyone who cherishes Lake City as an authentic American treasure.
