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. |

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.
