Welcome to the Town of Jamestown

Nestled in the heart of Berkeley County, the Town of Jamestown is a small but proud community rich in heritage, natural beauty, and Southern charm. With a population that reflects the warmth and neighborly spirit of rural South Carolina, Jamestown is a place where everyone knows your name and community matters.

​

Founded in 1886, Jamestown has a deep-rooted history shaped by agriculture, family traditions, and a strong sense of togetherness. Our town may be small, but our pride runs deep — from our historic past to our hopes for the future.

​

Jamestown is perhaps best known for hosting the annual Hell Hole Swamp Festival, a celebration that brings together generations of locals and visitors for food, fun, music, and community. The festival embodies everything Jamestown stands for: resilience, hospitality, and good old-fashioned fun.

​

Whether you’re visiting, relocating, or simply exploring, we welcome you to discover the charm and quiet strength of Jamestown. Here, we honor our past while looking ahead with hope and determination. We invite you to be a part of our story.
