Over the past 10+ years, Columbia County has experienced a remarkable surge of population growth. It is one of the top 25 fastest growing counties in the nation and one of the 5 fastest growing counties in Georgia. In 2000 the US Census noted the population of the county to be 89,288 people.

Aiken was originally part of the Edgefield district but as the population rose, the need to split became evident. The town later became a winter destination for elite northerners looking to escape harsh winters. Notable winter residents include members of the Vanderbilt family, Evalyn Walsh-McLean, owner of the Hope Diamond, and Dorothy Knox Goodyear Rogers, heir to the Woolworth fortune. In the 1950’s President Truman requested that Dupont design and construct a nuclear facility in South Carolina. Dupont built the Savannah River Site just outside the city of Aiken. The plant is the largest employer in the area, employing over 11,000 people. Aiken is also known for its equestrian community. The mild climate and sandy soil have proven to be a haven for horse trainers and enthusiasts. Belmont Stakes winner and Kentucky Derby runner, Palice Malice trained at Aiken’s Dogwood Stables. Downtown Aiken is the pride of the community. Residents and visitors enjoy locally owned shops and restaurants as well as The Alley, where you can mingle through the pedestrain only walkways while listening to live music or enjoying your favorite food and beverage. Aiken was voted “Best Small Town” by Southern Living Magazine in 2018. 5 THE AUGUSTA METRO AREAS NORTH AUGUSTA, SOUTH CAROLINA POPULATION 24,133 North Augusta South Carolina – nestled between Augusta, Georgia & Aiken, South Carolina - With quick access to downtown Augusta via 13th Street bridge, it is easy to commute to area businesses and the vast medical community on the GA side of the Savannah River. The North Augusta downtown area has an expanding riverfront community and is experiencing new growth along the river consisting of housing, hotels and restaurants. North Augusta was also just accepted into the SC Mainstreet downtown revitalization program with aggressive interests from the local community to attract additional businesses to the downtown district. Plans are underway for a brand new Public Safety building and new fire stations which will be a great addition to the growing community. For outdoor enthusiasts, North Augusta offers several choices. One of the most popular attractions is the North Augusta Greeneway. Or, take a stroll to Riverview Park which consists of 150 acres of outdoor activities that hosts several baseball, softball, soccer games and Frisbee football throughout the year. The recently remodeled Riverview Activities Center has an indoor gym and walking track.

Historic preservation of cemeteries is a growing concern as many communities find ways to deal with vandalism, erosion of stones, and neglect of plots and landscaping. Historic cemeteries generally showcase peaceful grounds with intriguing monuments, gravestones, dates, and names. A fount of information regarding genealogy, local historical figures and iconography can be found in cemeteries. Many graveyards have been lost due to poor planning, natural overgrowth, and fading memories; however, with community awareness and renewed respect for the past, preservation of cemeteries is becoming a higher priority in many historic cities across the United States including Augusta.
