Summerville

Among the towns of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, Summerville stands out for its azalea traditions and pine-lined residential streets. Sawmill Branch, within the Ashley River watershed, crosses this inland community west of Charleston, set on the Lowcountry’s flat coastal plain. Summerville became a popular nineteenth-century summer retreat for Charleston residents, and its historic center includes the National Register-listed Summerville Historic District. The town’s “Flowertown in the Pines” identity is most visible each spring, when the annual Flowertown Festival brings artists, craftspeople and food vendors to central streets during azalea season.
