Aiken County Overview

Aiken County, South Carolina was established in 1871. The county seat and largest city is Aiken. Both the city and the county were named for the first president of the South Carolina Railroad Company. The population, as of the 2010 census was 160,099. In the late 19th century, the county became a popular winter refuge for affluent Northerners, who built luxury housing. The county remains popular with horse trainers and professional riders because mild winters allow lengthy training seasons. In the 1950s, Aiken County, along with the nearby counties of Allendale and Barnwell was chosen as the location for storage of nuclear materials and various fissile materials, now known as the Savannah River Site. Ellenton, South Carolina was acquired, and its buildings demolished for its development for this plant. Its residents and businesses were all moved north about eight miles to New Ellenton. Developed during Cold War tensions, the facility is now scheduled for decommissioning of various parts of the site. As the fourth largest county in the state by land area, it has a total of 1,071 square miles of land, plus ten square miles of water. Bordering counties are: Saluda to the north, Lexington to the northeast, Orangeburg to the east, Barnwell to the south, Burke County, Georgia to the southwest, Edgefield to the west, and Richmond County, Georgia. Of the 23 zip codes assigned to the county, the most populous is 29803.
