Dillon County

Dillon County, South Carolina offers businesses opportunity with a touch of Southern style. Located in South Carolina's Pee Dee region, Dillon County sits on Interstate 95 near the South Carolina and North Carolina border. It is a short distance from South Carolina's Grand Strand and from the City of Florence.

Originally called "The Golden Land" for its abundance during harvest, Dillon County now has abundance of a different sort - natural beauty, friendly people and progressive communities. The area was named for James W. Dillon, a poor Irishman who used a little home brew to convince Atlantic Coastline railroad officials to route their tracks through his land. He was successful, the town of Dillon was established as the county seat and, today, James W. Dillon's house serves as the Dillon County Museum.

While Dillon County's large amounts of available land are well-suited for industrial expansion and population growth, the small-town atmosphere and relaxed lifestyle exemplify its "southern style." With nearby interstates leading to major ports and airports, Dillon County is perfect for business and people.  It's where you can combine both business opportunities and southern style for the best place to live, work, play and relax.
