Located just one hour southwest of Greenville and only 15 miles from the Georgia border is one of the Palmetto State’s best-kept secrets, historic Abbeville. Bordered on the west by the mighty Savannah River, Abbeville is a unique combination of natural beauty, with its pristine “freshwater coast”, and many valuable historic buildings and sites.

Abbeville is a nature-lover’s paradise where the outdoor sportsman can enjoy hunting, fishing and camping in a beautiful setting. There are also numerous possibilities for hiking and biking through the rural countryside.

Enjoy a slower pace of day-to-day living still within driving distance of the nearby larger cities and their attractions. Abbeville offers year-round festivals and close proximity to Columbia for plenty of shopping, dining and cultural activities.

Although this is a place rich in history, Abbeville is very much alive, a dynamic and innovative town, which looks to the future as well as preserving the past. Restoration of its downtown district has won the city nationwide recognition and awards for small town revitalization. Abbeville continues its success at being a thriving modern community in a historical setting.
