South Carolina's Heartland is the industrial center of the state and contains
its capital Columbia. The University of South Carolina is located in the capital
city and boasts a large annual enrollment of almost 37,000 people. South Carolina
is famous for its historical restoration and the Heartland is no exception to
this. Columbia's Historical District is home to many antique buildings, dating
back before confederation. Lexington, located to the west of Columbia, is the
fastest growing county in South Carolina. This area is a large agricultural
producer that prides itself on peach cultivation. In the midst of this bustling
economic area are the Saluda and Congaree rivers, providing both recreational
activities such as kayaking and white water rafting, and a natural getaway from
the hustle of the cities.
