South Carolina has some amazing towns, but did you know that we also have some super tiny towns? These towns have less than 500 people in them! I actually grew up in a super tiny town in South Carolina known as Olar. It’s a strange feeling knowing that you grew up in a place that many people don’t even know exists. Well, here are 20 super tiny towns in South Carolina that you may not have even heard of.
