Cheraw, Historic riverside town in Chesterfield County, South Carolina.
The town sits along the Pee Dee River at an elevation of 51 meters, covering 5.4 square miles of land and water areas.
European settlers established the area in the 1730s, where Cheraw and Pee Dee Native American tribes previously lived near the river trading routes.
The South Carolina Jazz Festival takes place in Cheraw, commemorating the legacy of jazz musician Dizzy Gillespie who was born in the town.
The town council actively manages water infrastructure improvements and maintains public services through regular assessments and community meetings.
