Cheraw Is A Historic Treasure
Loaded With Opportunities
The original inhabitants of this area were the Cheraw and Pee Dee Indian tribes. The Cheraw lived closest to the modern village site, but by the 1730s they had been devastated by disease. Around the late 1730s, European settlers began to travel up the river and establish homes within the future limits of the town.

Cheraw was officially established by 1750, and a growing river trade kept it a busy center of commerce for decades to come. Prior to the American Revolution, it was one of only 6 cities in South Carolina listed on English maps. After the Revolution, Cheraw continued to grow more prosperous, with a formal network of streets laid out in the early part of the 19th century.
Average high temperatures in Cheraw get up to 91 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, and the average lows fall to 34 degrees during winter. Monthly precipitation averages nearly 4 inches. The annual snowfall average is 4.4 inches.

5 public schools and 3 private schools offer educational options to local students. Higher education is provided by Francis Marion University in the city of Florence, just 35 miles away, as well as by Coker College in nearby Hartsville, 28 miles away. Other options for higher education that are located within 70 miles of town include the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Chesterfield General Hospital serves local health care needs. This is a fully accredited institution that provides a full range of both primary and specialty care services.
As a pre-Revolutionary town, Cheraw features a 213-acre historic district that is on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the churches in town was used as a hospital by both the Union and the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Cheraw State Park and nearby Sand Hills State Forest were both founded in the 1930s. In total, there are more than 96,000 acres of public lands in Chesterfield County, providing more than enough opportunities for anyone to find a corner of the outdoors to enjoy.
Sand Hills State Forest is undoubtedly one of the main attractions near Cheraw. Camping, horseback riding, hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing are among the popular activities in this beautiful slice of
a unique ecosystem.
If you like your experiences in nature to be a little less rugged than the forest can provide, why not try a game of golf? There are 15 golf courses within 30 miles of Cheraw, with 2 of them situated
right in town.
