Character

Jackson is the definition of deep rural South Carolina — a very small town with limited commercial infrastructure, a residential population that relies on private vehicles for nearly all services, and an agricultural economic base. Public real estate data for Jackson is extremely limited due to low transaction volume.

History

Jackson was incorporated as a small market town serving the agricultural communities of southeastern Aiken County. Its history is tied to the cotton and tobacco agricultural cycles of the SC Midlands, and the town's size has remained modest throughout its history.
