Central Communities

You’re looking to experience the quality lifestyle of a small Southern town, but you want to be central to plenty of choices for activities. What better place to choose as your hometown than Central, SC? In spite of its name, Central is actually located in the northwest corner of South Carolina. The town’s name came from its location on the railroad line, centered between Charlotte, NC, and Atlanta, GA. Just a half-hour from the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains and even closer to a variety of lakes, Central is also home to Southern Wesleyan University and nearby to Clemson University, making it a hub for outdoor activities, education, and a year-long schedule of cultural, community, and family-friendly festivals and events.
