Why Live in Elgin

Elgin, SC, is a small town in rural Kershaw County with a population of around 2,000, located approximately 25 miles from Columbia. Known for its close-knit community, Elgin has a rich history that began as a railroad stop and farming community, later evolving into a factory town named after the Elgin National Watch Company. The town features single-family homes, including early 1900s cottages, midcentury brick ranch-style homes, and contemporary New Traditional and Minimal Traditional snout houses. Mature pinelands add to the town's charm, though some areas are prone to flooding, necessitating flood insurance for certain properties.
