The college town of Aiken is located in southeastern South Carolina near the Georgia border. It is home to the University of South Carolina Aiken and to Aiken Technical College. The city is roughly 18 miles northeast of Augusta, but unlike its neighbor, golf doesn't reign supreme here -- polo does. The heart of the city is its downtown area, a vibrant shopping and dining destination. Designed around cobblestone courtyards with fountains and benches, Downtown Aiken is an inviting place to live. It is home to a variety of art galleries, antique stores, the AECOM Center for the Performing Arts, and top-rated restaurants.
Aiken began as a railroad town in 1835, and Downtown Aiken is home to many historic locations. The Aiken Tennis Club dates back to 1898 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visit the Aiken County Historical Museum to learn more about the city's history. Downtown Aiken is also home to Palmetto Golf Club, the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame & Museum, Winthrop Polo Field, the Aiken Polo Club, the Whitney Polo Field, Hopelands Gardens, and Citizens Park.
