Stateburg, SC

Stateburg sits among the rolling High Hills of Santee in western Sumter County, offering a peaceful countryside setting with deep historical roots. Founded in the late 1700s by General Thomas Sumter, the settlement was once a strong contender to become South Carolina's state capital. Today, that heritage is visible along scenic backroads lined with tall trees, historic homes, and centuries-old landmarks like Borough House and the Church of the Holy Cross.
