Here, life is easy, and so is business, recreation, education, leisure, culture, and everything you might want in a thriving American community. As they say in Aiken, "We're home to smiling faces and beautiful places." Aiken has a rich heritage where you'll find quaint towns and breathtaking natural beauty. Our community is balanced by down-home activities with a cosmopolitan feel. Aiken has something for everybody. Here, old and new combine to provide an atmosphere and community that suits everyone from families to young adults; from energetic entrepreneurs to retirees. In 1870, Aiken began to attract wealthy Northerners, who were lured to the area by the opportunities for equestrian sports, thus establishing Aiken’s celebrated “Winter Colony.” Among those who wintered here was Thomas Hitchcock, who with the Whitney’s established the tract of land known as Hitchcock Woods for public use. The restorations experienced in houses and churches reflect the wealth and sophistication of the population during the Winter Colony era and illustrate its impact on the community. Hayne Avenue, Colleton Avenue, South Boundary and Whiskey Road are old, fashionable residential avenues which attracted both local residents and winter visitors to build beautiful homes. Historic downtown Aiken continues to serve as a vibrant business hub for the community and provides a unique identity and charm for the area. Only 9 Miles North from I-20!
