About location

Few places in South Carolina have a history as closely tied to county-seat status as Lexington. Established as the seat of Lexington County in 1800, the town takes its name from the Battle of Lexington, a defining opening event of the American Revolution. Its historic center remains the civic focus for a growing Columbia-area community. Interstate 20 runs through northern Lexington, linking the town with Columbia and the wider interstate network. To the northwest, Lake Murray is a large reservoir formed by the Saluda River; its shoreline is central to local recreation and residential development. The Lexington County Museum preserves several historic buildings in the town center.

Region South Carolina

Among the regions of the United States, South Carolina stands out for its sweep from the Atlantic coast and tidal Lowcountry to the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Its shoreline combines barrier islands, salt marshes and estuaries, with Charleston long established as one of the country’s important Atlantic port cities. Fort Sumter, in Charleston Harbor, is where the American Civil War began in 1861. Farther inland, Congaree National Park protects a notable expanse of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest, while Columbia serves as the state capital.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
