Colleton County is situated in the
southeastern portion of the State of South Carolina and touches on the
Atlantic Ocean at its southeastern tip. The fifth largest county in
South Carolina, Colleton is bordered by Bamberg, Beaufort, Charleston,
Dorchester and Hampton counties. Colleton is the largest of four
counties known as the Lowcountry Region, which also includes Beaufort,
Hampton and Jasper counties.
The traditional, time-honored rural
lifestyle and beauty of the land remain, blending in harmony with
the new dimension of progress. With its bountiful resources and
hard-working people, embraced in a traditional way-of-life, Colleton
County is prepared to take its place as a part of the progressive
new South.
The oak tree, for centuries linked
synonymously with the characteristics of long life and serene
beauty, is the natural symbol of Colleton County. Just as the seed
of the oak, Colleton County has endured the test of time. |

For over 300
years the stately oaks have stood silently on the land marking time
by their growth as the story of its people unfolded.
