On November 19, 1860, one of the first secession meetings in South Carolina was held at the Chesterfield Courthouse. At the subsequent Secession Convention, Cheraw's John Inglis introduced the resolution calling for South Carolina to leave the Union. Later, in March 1865, General Sherman occupied Cheraw for several days but surprisingly spared the town from significant damage while reorganizing his army.

Groundwater Protection Tips for Chesterfield County
Because Chesterfield County's sandy soils provide minimal natural filtration, protecting your well water quality requires extra vigilance year-round. Have your well water tested annually for coliform bacteria and nitrates, especially in late summer when water tables drop and contaminants concentrate. During dry spells, reduce water usage to avoid overloading your system — even fast-draining soils have limits, and surge loading can push untreated effluent directly into the shallow aquifer.

Welcome to Cheraw — The Prettiest Town in Dixie
Known as the "Prettiest Town in Dixie," Cheraw boasts a beautifully preserved historic district with antebellum homes and tree-lined streets that date back to the 1700s. The town is also proud to be the birthplace of jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie, and you can visit his childhood home site and a statue honoring him downtown. Cheraw State Park, one of South Carolina's oldest state parks, sits just outside town and draws visitors year-round.

Chesterfield County Rivers, Watersheds, and Flood Zones
Chesterfield County straddles the Fall Line — the geologic boundary where the hard rocks of the Piedmont give way to the sandy sediments of the Coastal Plain — creating the distinctive Carolina Sandhills landscape of broad, rolling dunes. The Lynches River forms part of the county's eastern boundary, and Thompson Creek and other tributaries drain the interior toward the Pee Dee River system. While the Sandhills uplands have minimal flood risk, the Lynches River corridor carries FEMA-designated flood zones with saturated bottomland soils that are generally unsuitable for conventional septic systems.

Excessively Drained Sandy Soils in Chesterfield County
Chesterfield County sits squarely in the Carolina Sandhills, where the dominant soils are deep, coarse sands (including the Kershaw soil series) that drain very rapidly. While fast drainage prevents surface ponding, it also means wastewater passes through the soil too quickly for adequate biological treatment, increasing the risk of nitrate and bacterial contamination of groundwater and nearby wells. Properties with these excessively drained soils may require engineered systems with enhanced treatment before effluent reaches the soil.

What People Are Saying
“We were tired of dealing with a discount pumper who just wasn't getting the job done! Our septic system was backing up every 3 to 6 months. Finally, we called Septic Workz. They used the Crust Buster to get all the solids out and then added commercial chemicals to help balance our tank. Three years later, we still haven't experienced any backups!”
