Walterboro: I-77 S @ MM 54.1

Among the cities of South Carolina, Walterboro stands out for its historic role as a summer refuge for Lowcountry planters. Set in the Lowcountry near the Edisto River, it is close to one of North America’s longest free-flowing blackwater rivers. The Colleton County Courthouse anchors the downtown historic district, while the Walterboro Wildlife Sanctuary protects wetland habitat at the edge of the city. The South Carolina Artisans Center adds a contemporary cultural focus, presenting work by juried artists from across the state. Its location near Interstate 95 has also made Walterboro a familiar stop between the coast and inland 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.
