Located in Region 2 of the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, Abbeville has much to offer both the visitor and resident.
Abbeville County, dating back to the 1700s, is rich in history from time of the Cherokee Indians. Dr. Joannes de la Howe is credited for naming Abbeville after his native city in France, and Jefferson Davis held his last war cabinet meeting at the Burt-Stark Mansion.
Today, Abbeville is a modern county with industrial parks, new schools, colleges, churches, an arts center, community centers, an opera house, 19th century homes, historical sites, recreational areas, state parks, and lakes.
