Located in a picturesque setting of rolling hills, rich farmland, and lush forests, Chester County belongs to one of South Carolina's most historic regions: the Olde English District. From its role in the Revolutionary War to its present position in Palmetto politics, culture, and commerce, Chester County has played a vital role in the direction and development of South Carolina over the years. Celebrating the Chester County of yesteryear, this volume, using over 200 vintage black-and-white photographs, explores the county's history and geography, from its rural backroads to the bustling streets of downtown Chester. Chester County provides a rare opportunity for readers to experience the everyday life of previous generations, showcasing their places of worship, their early business ventures, and their residences.

These images and their stories recall a simpler time and preserve for future generations visions of Chester County's unique past.
