Orangeburg County, Administrative division in South Carolina, US.
Orangeburg County is located in South Carolina's Midlands region and includes farmland, forests, and residential areas spread across the landscape. Roads and highways run through the county, connecting different towns and communities.
A fur trading post was established here in 1704, and the area became an official county in 1769 through settlement by Swiss, German, and Dutch colonists. These early communities laid the foundation for the region's development.
Two universities shape daily life and community in the region: South Carolina State University and Claflin University. These institutions draw people together and influence how the county develops.
Interstate highways 95 and 26 pass through the county, making travel to major cities straightforward. Visitors can easily explore the broader region from here.
The Edisto Memorial Gardens holds one of the state's largest public rose collections with many different varieties to see. This garden is often overlooked by visitors despite offering impressive plant diversity.
