Did you Know?...There is a new book at Town Hall on the Municipal
Association of South Carolina 1930- 2015.
It is most interesting and states many statistics of our
state.
We all
know South Carolina was one of the original 13 colonies and was the
8th state admitted to the United States on May 23, 1788.
South Carolina's population in 1788 was about 239,000.
The population is now estimated at 4.8 million.
Charleston
was our first incorporated city in 1783. We now have 270
incorporated cities in our state with 122 of them with a population
of less than 1,000.( Almost half) 51 cities in S.C. have a
population of 1,000 to 2,499. In the 2013 census, Blythewood was in
this range with 2,300 people. We have new residents coming
into Town Hall weekly so we could be in the next group by
now.
