A brief history of Johnston: The town's identity is tightly interwoven with both its railroad heritage and its agricultural roots. Even now, the railroad tract remains a daily reminder of its foundational role. The depot, restored, is being put to use for library and other civic endeavors. Nestled in Edgefield County on a fertile plateau between clay hills and sand hills, Johnston is proudly known as 'The Peach Capital of the World.' The area was settled by the mid-1700s and gained historic note when President George Washington reportedly stopped at the Lott family plantation near today's Johnston in 1791. The town's formal beginning is tied to the railroad era. In the late 1800s, the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad expanded through this region. Dr. Edward J. Mims owned a plantation on the proposed line and successfully persuaded the railroad to pass through his land. In honor of William Johnston, president of the railroad company, the depot and eventually the town were named 'Johnston.' Johnston was founded around 1868 and incorporated in 1875, later rechartered in 1897. Much of Johnston's growth came between 1880 and 1920, when its commercial core and surrounding neighborhoods expanded. The Johnston Historic District today includes over 140 properties representing architectural styles such as Italianate, Second Empire, Victorian, Queen Anne, and Neoclassical. Economic & Cultural Identity Agriculture has long been a backbone of Johnston's economy. Over time, peaches emerged as a dominant crop, and today the Ridge region produces about 60% of South Carolina's peaches. The town's identity remains deeply tied to its railroad and agricultural roots. Today, Johnston has a population of just over 2,200 residents and continues to celebrate its heritage through community events and preservation of its historic charm. You will love the blend of historic homes, peaceful country acreage, and friendly small-town living—all within easy reach of Aiken, Augusta, and Columbia.
