1260 Union St

Orangeburg carries a quiet confidence that comes from being a college town, a county seat, and a community with deep historical roots all at once. Situated about 37 miles southeast of Columbia along the north fork of the Edisto River, the city is known locally as "the Garden City" and "the Burg," two nicknames that hint at its character: grounded, green, and genuinely proud of its identity. Two historically Black universities, South Carolina State University and Claflin University, are anchors of the city's educational and cultural life, drawing students, faculty, and visitors year-round. The annual Festival of Roses draws the community together each spring, celebrating a tradition the city has honored for decades.
