Antreville, SC

Antreville is a census-designated place in Abbeville County, South Carolina. The 2020 census counted 147 residents. The community sits in the Upstate’s rolling farm country, within reach of Abbeville’s county-seat services and the roads that connect small settlements across the western part of the state. Abbeville County School District serves local students. The surrounding roads lead toward Abbeville, Anderson, and the scattered farm communities of the Upstate, with school and church calendars connecting the area.

The name Antreville began as a misspelling of Centreville, apparently caused by a postal error that was never corrected. That small accident became the permanent place name, giving the community a story built into every envelope and road sign. Antreville remains an unincorporated rural place, with homes, churches, farms, and school routes spread across the county landscape. Its scale is modest, but its name carries a little piece of local history: a center that became “Antreville” because the post office wrote it down that way.
