Summerville is located northwest of the City of Charleston and has become one of the most popular relocation destinations in the Charleston Metro area. Why? More affordable housing, good schools and great infrastructure. Summerville's roads have kept pace with its development and traffic tie-ups are not as prevalent as in other areas. The area has grown by 35% in the last five years, making it the fastest growing town in the state. Many new residential communities are being built in the Summerville area. The town's name is evocative of its history. Situated on a pine-forested ridge, it was first inhabited in the late 1700'sas Charlestonians and other inhabitants of the SC Lowcountry sought respite from the summer heat, mosquitos and disease. From May to September plantation families along the nearby Ashley River and other coastal areas, headed for higher elevation to live temporarily or "maroon", in the tiny forest colony soon dubbed Summerville. Other pioneer residents descended from those 1696 Puritans who settled the nearby former colonial settlement of Dorchester, endowing Summerville with a heritage spanning three centuries.
