Fairfield County, County in South Carolina, United States.
Fairfield County is an administrative division in central South Carolina with a mix of farmland and small urban centers spread throughout. The main settlement area includes Winnsboro, which serves as the county seat with historic buildings and local institutions.
The area was settled by European colonists in the 1760s and saw significant military activity during the American Revolution. The county was formally established in 1785.
The name Fairfield refers to the fertile fields that early settlers found upon arrival in the area. Agricultural traditions continue to shape how the region looks and functions today.
The county is easily reached via Interstate 77, which connects it to Columbia and Charlotte with good road conditions throughout. Visitors should expect rural areas where distances are greater and public transportation is less frequent.
Winnsboro is home to a historic tower clock that has been running continuously since 1837, making it one of the oldest timekeeping devices still in use in the country. This quiet landmark continues to define the town's character.
