Welcome to Heath Springs, South Carolina

Located in Lancaster County, South Carolina and just 40 minutes south of Charlotte, NC, the Town of Heath Springs has been in existence for more than 200 years.  A town of nearly 1,000 residents, Heath Springs prides itself on maintaining the comforts and hospitality of a small Southern town while working to improve the future for each of our residents.

In the early 1800s, the Hanging Rock Mineral Spring became well-known for its “healing, bubbling springs” and in the 1850s, the Hanging Rock Mineral Springs Inn began attracting people from many areas seeking the healthful mineral spring waters. Though Sherman’s soldiers destroyed the inn, the area around the spring, known as the Heath Spring after its new owner, had begun to grow, and eventually a post office originally called the Heath Spring Post Office was established. Later a business firm from Lancaster opened in the area—the Heath, Springs and Company, and in 1890, the town of Heath Springs was incorporated, and the post office soon changed its name to Heath Springs Post Office.

Today, the town of Heath Springs has approximately 980 residents. Main Street is going through the Streetscape program, and a variety of businesses, including a local bank and post office, along with several medical offices, commercial ventures and industries, serve the Heath Springs area.  The L&C Railroad services a main line through downtown and is a strong supporter of the Town and its residents.

In 2008, the Town joined forces with Lancaster County Government and the Lancaster County Economic Development Corporation to build a new certified Class A industrial park within the Town limits.  This 67-acre park has access to the L&C Railroad and is a major accomplishment as the Town continues to plan for the future.  Visit our Economic Development page to learn more about business opportunities in our community.
