Town of Cottageville

Cottageville is a small town located between Walterboro and Summerville, South Carolina. It is known for its history as a location for large rice plantations and for adopting the camellia as its town flower and symbol, in memory of a couple who sold the plants during the Great Depression to stay afloat. Each January, a camellia show is held in Cottageville to showcase and enjoy the blooms of the year. The town is becoming increasingly popular with people looking to escape the busy city life of Summerville, which is located just 12 miles away.
