Few communities in South Carolina have a history as closely tied to the rural settlement of the Lowcountry as Switzerland. This small locality lies in flat, wooded country near the Savannah River, which forms much of the state boundary with Georgia. The wider Lowcountry has been shaped by tidal waterways, wetlands and rice cultivation; its coastal communities are closely associated with the Gullah Geechee people and their enduring traditions. Switzerland stands apart from the larger urban centres of the coast, reflecting the quiet backroads and river-country character of southern South Carolina.
