St George, SC Overview

Known as the "town of friendly people," St. George serves as the seat of Dorchester County government.  Local residents are proud of the town's link to an insatiable appetite for grits, a claim to fame that is celebrated in style each year at the World Grits Festival. In addition to live entertainment, arts and crafts, and square dancing, competitive games include a corn shucking contest, a grits-eating contest, and a rolling-in-the-grits contest, all upstaged by the crowning of "Miss Grits."  One of the Charleston area's major events, the festival draws crowds well over 50,000 to this welcoming small town.  St. George provides outstanding recreational amenities close to home, including Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, and Four Hole Swamp for some of the Lowcountry's best fishing.  Forested land and the Edisto River Canoe and Kayak Trail provide unique settings for weekend excursions.  Many retirees call St. George home, easily assimilating into this active and friendly community.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
