Edgefield County, SC

Edgefield District was established in 1785 and is one of the oldest political jurisdictions in South Carolina, taking its name from its position on the edge of the original SC backcountry. The town of Edgefield was laid out in 1830 and quickly became one of the most politically powerful communities in the antebellum South. Edgefield County has produced more governors of South Carolina than any other county in the state, ten in total, as well as U.S. senators, congressmen, and figures whose careers shaped national politics. The county seat's courthouse square, anchored by the historic Edgefield County Courthouse built in 1839, remains one of the most intact antebellum civic landscapes in South Carolina. The planter families who built that political and legal establishment accumulated gold, silver, and currency across generations, and the antebellum prosperity of Edgefield County left behind estate collections that have been with families for nearly two centuries. Edgefield is also internationally recognized as the birthplace of American alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery, a tradition that began in the early nineteenth century and produced some of the most historically significant ceramic art in the country, including the work of enslaved artisan Dave Drake, whose signed and dated vessels now command extraordinary prices at major auction houses.

The agricultural prosperity of the antebellum era gave way to a long period of rebuilding after the Civil War. The families who rebuilt Edgefield County's economy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries accumulated pre-1933 gold coins, pre-1964 silver coins, and national bank notes from Edgefield County banks including the old Edgefield National Bank. Strom Thurmond, born in Edgefield in 1902, became the longest-serving senator in United States history, and his career reflected the county's enduring tradition of political influence that stretched from the antebellum era through the twentieth century.

The arrival of the Savannah River Site nuclear facility in the early 1950s transformed the economy of the entire Central Savannah River Area, bringing engineers, scientists, and federal contractors to the region and creating a professional class whose estates are among the most interesting in the Lowcountry-Midlands transition zone. North Augusta, just across the Savannah River from Augusta, Georgia, has experienced significant growth in recent decades as part of the greater Augusta metropolitan area, and residential development spreading into Edgefield County has brought new families and new estate collections to the region.

Today Edgefield County is experiencing renewed interest as a destination for families seeking rural character within commuting distance of Augusta and Aiken. The county's historic courthouse town, its nationally recognized pottery heritage, and its extraordinary record of producing governors and senators make it one of the most distinctive communities in South Carolina.
