Richburg,
SC
Richburg, generally speaking, is considered much larger than the
actual town itself. However, the town holds one honor above any
other community in South Carolina… the state’s longest-serving
mayor. First elected mayor in 1967, John Boyd McCrorey won his 21st
term as the mayor of Richburg in 2005.
Economy
Due to Richburg’s close proximity to I-77, it is also considered the
hub of recent and future growth and development in Chester County.
Construction of a new shopping center with grocery store and the
relocation of a large car dealership are two of many new additions
to the immediate area. Fortune 500 corporations and other major
industries have located to the Richburg area. Industrial, mixed-use
and residential development is anticipated in the coming years. |

students and 90 teachers. All three facilities are new and designed
to expand as future growth warrants. Chester County parents are very

Neighborhoods
The Richburg area offers a variety of housing choices. Most of the
subdivisions are hidden from the SC 9 corridor and have custom built
homes on large wooded lots. Large impressive custom homes are
scattered throughout the Chester County countryside. Richburg’s
close proximity to I-77 and SC 9 provides commuters great access to
major transportation corridors in all four directions.
Hospitals
Two smaller healthcare facilities are located with the Richburg area
– Lewisville Medical Center on SC 901 and Lowry Medical Center on SC

Things to Do
The Greater Richburg Association (GRA) was organized in 1991 by a
group of local citizens. The organization’s mission is to support
the orderly growth of the Richburg area utilizing various efforts to
create an environment that is attractive and inviting to both
families and industry. GRA is also devoted to the youth of Richburg
and annually awards scholarships to three graduating seniors from
Lewisville High School. Funds for these scholarships are raised at
the association’s annual "Picnic in the Park" each May in the
Richburg Park. |
