Part of Laurens County and home to over 8,000 South Carolinians, Clinton was first settled by Scots-Irish immigrants 20 years prior the Revolutionary War. Known for its fine eateries of the “old days,” Whiteford's Drive-In and Hickory Hills Bar-B-Que Buffet, Clinton is recognized for its southern charm and small-town aura. At the junction of the I-26 and I-385, Clinton is ideally situated for easy commutes into Greenville, 45 miles northwest. Residents of a Clinton house or apartment for rent can typically make the drive in about 50 minutes because the interstates are rarely crowded with traffic. An alternative to driving is the train service that operates frequent trains into Greenville and provides reliable and quick transportation. Laurens County Airport is available to local aviators who wish to fly their plane into town.
Residents of an apartment or home rental in Clinton join in the celebration of community events such as Children's Funfest, Pumpkin Patch, Clinton Spirit Parade, Clinton Fall Festival, and Summer Concert Series. The Presbyterian College is located in Clinton in addition to Thornwell School and Home for Boys and Girls. Lakeside Country Club is also a popular attraction for its well-maintained courses and extensive social activities. Main Street Clinton forms the hub of shopping, dining, and social life in town and features landmarks including The Clinton Museum and Laurens County Community Theater. A number of local residents are Clemson and University of South Carolina athletics supporters and can reach their respective campuses within 60 to 70 minutes.
