Clearwater presents a modestly more established residential character than Warrenville or Gloverville — slightly larger population, slightly more developed commercial infrastructure along SC-191. The housing stock is a mix of postwar ranches and 1970s-1990s construction. The community has a neighborhood school presence and a degree of civic infrastructure.
History
Clearwater developed alongside the Horse Creek Valley textile industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, growing as a residential community for mill workers. Its somewhat larger size relative to its Valley neighbors reflects its position along the primary SC-191 arterial and its access to Aiken city services.
