About Jacksonboro
Jacksonboro is a quiet Lowcountry crossroads in southeastern Colleton County, located along Highway 17 between Charleston and Beaufort. It looks like a simple rural stop today, but it has a fascinating backstory. Back in 1782, while British troops occupied Charleston during the Revolutionary War, South Carolina's legislature met here, temporarily making the small riverfront settlement the seat of state government.
Today, the community is defined by its natural surroundings and its position along the Edisto River. Sitting on the edge of the ACE Basin, Jacksonboro offers easy access to boat landings, fishing, and protected wetlands. It is an ideal setting for anyone seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by mossy oaks and waterways, while still keeping Walterboro about twenty minutes away and Charleston within reasonable commuting distance.
