CHESTER COUNTY...THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Chester County, South Carolina is located within one of the fastest growing interstate corridors in the Southeast.  Located 38 miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina; 56 miles east of Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina; and 45 miles north of Columbia, South Carolina, the communities of Chester County are prepared to meet the development challenges that await them and all offer an outstanding quality of life.

Residents of Chester County truly have the best of both worlds.  The County's small towns include the County seat of Chester, and the smaller incorporated communities of Richburg, Great Falls, Lowrys and Fort Lawn.  All offer a low cost of living, a rural setting and less than a 30 minute drive to the Charlotte Metropolitan Area.  Ideally situated, these communities offer Chester residents an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and small town living while frequenting all of the cultural and entertainment endeavors offered by America's 20th largest city. Chester County is truly emerging as one of the best places in South Carolina and the Charlotte Region to live and do business.
