The city of Summerville was established in 1847, with stories and history dating back to the early 1700's. The town's motto is "The Flower Town in the Pines." Since the early 1900's, tourists have flooded the town in the Spring season to see the beautiful blossoms and gardens. The population of Summerville doubled in the 1980's and has since attracted many families, businessman and military personnel looking for a secure home town life that is close to a city. Located only 25 miles outside of Charleston, Summerville is a great location for people working in the business industry.
