SUMMERVILLE
Berkeley County
Summerville is about 22 miles from
Charleston, on line of the South
Carolina Railway and in the midst of the pine woods. It is
situated
on a ridge which extends across from the Cooper to the Ashley River,
and
which is remarkable for its healthfulness. The climate is very
agreeable;
in the winter being out of the influence of the ast winds, which
frequently
previal on the coast the temperature is mild and equable, and
in summer, though the days are warm, a delicious coolness pervades
the atmosphere at night, which ensures refreshing sleep. From
these
causes it is particularly beneficial to invalids or persons
convalescing
from illness. The village had been settled a very long time, but
like most places of the kind, has grown slowly. It has now,
however,
reached quite a respectable size. The houses are built far apart,
so that each one is perfectluy private and like a country residence.
The many advantages which
Summerville possesses are being rapidly realized,
and each year the population is increasing. There are several
excellent
boarding houses, which are generally full, and a fine hotel - the
Dorchester
- is now in course of erection, which, when complketed, will be equal
in
elegance to any in this country. Churches of all the religious
denominations,
good schools and a well supplied market, furnish all the requisites for
comfortable and pleasant living, and many families induced by these
advantages,
and by the cheapness of house rents, are taking up their residence
there.
As the South Carolina Railway runs special trains fo rthe accommodation
of the residents, it is perfectly convenient for buisness men who find
it a great relief, after the fatigues of a day in the city to retreat
to
the quiet of Summerville.
The country around abounds with
game, and the Summervillemen have always
been renowned as hunters, and, although situated, as we have said, in a
pine barren, there are many pretty walks and drives about the village,
and on the banks of the Ashley, about four miles off, some spots of
great
beauty. Population of Summerville is about 4,000.
