Lancaster, South Carolina, the county seat of Lancaster County, is a charming historic southern city that, while proudly recognizing its history, is a service-oriented community focused on the future. What else would you expect of a town settled in the 1750’s in an area proclaimed as the “Garden of the Waxhaws”? (The Waxhaws are one of three Native American tribes who occupied the Lancaster area.)

Come, visit the “Red Rose City,” explore our intricate past, meet our friendly citizens and discover the vitality that makes Lancaster feel like home. Learn more...
