Dorchester County lies just northwest of Charleston, and Summerville, nicknamed Flowertown in the Pines, is its largest town. The county seat is St. George. Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site preserves the ruins of a colonial town founded in 1697, including a brick bell tower from around 1751. The county is also home to the Francis Beidler Forest near Harleyville, one of the largest remaining old-growth cypress and tupelo swamps in the world.
Summerville's downtown has a lively restaurant scene, with Lowcountry staples like shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes and sweet tea on many menus.
About 24,300 Dorchester County residents are 65 or older, and the number is growing as retirees move to the Charleston area. Roper St. Francis Hospital in Summerville is the main local hospital, and many residents also use MUSC and Trident systems in Charleston. Because networks vary by plan, confirm your doctors and hospital before you enroll. If you recently moved here from another state, you may qualify for a special enrollment period to switch plans.
