2nd District of South Carolina

The Second District of South Carolina extends from the state's capital city of Columbia in the Midlands, to the coastal cities of Beaufort and Hilton Head Island. The district is comprised of 6 full counties (Allendale, Barnwell, Beaufort, Hampton, Jasper and Lexington) and parts of 4 others (Aiken, Calhoun, Orangeburg and Richland).

Our district has a rich military tradition with bases in and around Beaufort and Columbia. These include Beaufort Marine Corps Air Station, Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Beaufort Naval Hospital, Fort Jackson, and while Shaw Air Force base lies just outside the District in the northern Midlands, many of its personnel live in the Second District. We are proud of our troops and the support they enjoy in South Carolina, and are eternally thankful for their selfless dedication to protect the American people and our way of life.

South Carolina is renowned for its generous hospitality and its beautiful, historic landscape. With its beginnings in colonial America, its rich history spans centuries. More Revolutionary war battlefields transverse South Carolina than anywhere else in the nation. Centuries-old gardens and historic homes are reminders of the Palmetto State's past.

Surrounding all this history is a land that is stunning in beauty and charm, a land that will kindle the imagination and satiate the curiosity. South Carolina's rich history, mild climate, food, entertainment and hospitality captivate visitors from around the world. We hope that the links and information provided here will help you learn more about our state and what it has to offer.
