South Carolina, one of the southern Atlantic states, is bounded on the north and northeast by North Carolina; on the southeast by the Atlantic Ocean; and on the southwest by Georgia, from which it is separated in part by the Savannah River. It lies between about 32º 2′ and 35º 13′ north latitude, and between 78º 30′ and 83º 20′ west longitude. The state measures about 260 miles from east to west and about 210 miles from north to south. It contains approximately 32,020 square miles, or 20,492,800 acres.
This state project is part of the much larger American History & Genealogy Project or better known by the abbreviation of AHGP. It has been in existence online since 2000 and over the years has been spread out across the web. These pages are an attempt to consolidate it under one website of the larger project.
