Chester County, South Carolina

One of seven counties created in 1785 from the old Camden Judicial District, Chester sits in the rolling hills of South Carolina's eastern Piedmont between the Catawba River on the east and the Broad River on the west. Its rectangular boundaries have never been altered — a shape unique among South Carolina counties — and part of Sumter National Forest lies within it.
