Located 15 miles northeast of Columbia is the second-fastest growing town in the Midlands. The topography is rolling and the soil is both sand and clay. Rural living with big city convenience is just part of Blythewood's charm. Take a drive down roads with colorful names such as Persimmon Fork or Syrup Mill, and you'll see that quiet family living is the rule, not the exception. The people of Blythewood love their town and are willing to fight to preserve its old town flavor! Zoning restrictions have been put in place to prevent new businesses from coming in and changing the character of the town, and although new businesses are welcome they must pass the inspection of an architectural review board to make sure their buildings will fit in with the traditional architectural style of the area.

Built around 1855, the Hoffman House is the oldest home within the Town limits. It has been renovated and restored to house the Blythewood Town Hall. The house was built by George Peter Hoffman for his new bride, Jane Ruff Hoffman. The Hoffmans were married on January 26, 1854 and they reared eleven children in the home. The original house consisted of the front three rooms which are hand beveled, tongue-in-groove, random width heart pine timber from floor to ceiling for a height of 15ft. 4 in. When the family expanded, the rear section of the home was added, which is believed to be a tenant house that was simply moved and attached to the rear of the original home. Hours are: Mon.-Fri. 8:30am-4:30pm.
In the 1850's the Charlotte & South Carolina Railroad stopped at the train depot in Blythewood, not only for passengers, but also for water to fuel their steam engines. At that time the town was named Doko, which is a Native American word for watering place. By 1887, both the town and the depot had been renamed Blythewood which was considered to be more descriptive of the community's very pleasant groves of pines and oaks. During those early years of poor roads and horse-drawn vehicles, the depot was the lifeline of the community, providing not only transportation for cash crops, mail and passengers, but telegraph communication as well. There are several large horse farms in the area and some of them, such as FareWell Farms and Onewood, hold events and competitions such as dressage in which local riders can compete. Long Creek Equestrian Centre offers lessons, boarding and trail rides. Magnolia Farms is a private farm and raises champion Quarter horses for competition and sale. Blythewood holds several holiday events annually. The Carolighting Ceremony is an event for the entire family and includes holiday carols, tree lighting and hot chocolate served by the Rotary Club.
