A Word From Our MayorJ. MICHAEL ROSS, MAYOR OF BLYTHEWOOD
Welcome to our historic southern town. Our Blythewood community
originated with families steeped in tradition, family values and hard work. We celebrate community with numerous town events each year in the areas of education, the arts, sports, family and community.
The Blythewood area is home to several excellent, award-winning schools in the Richland School District Two area with five elementary schools, three middle schools and two high schools. Academics, the arts, sports and community service are foremost in our children’s educational experiences. Blythewood is the home of the USC Equestrian Team, winner of the national championship title in 2014. Our “Bravo Blythewood” supports our artists, writers and musicians sponsoring numerous events throughout the year, including The Holiday Market, Jingle Bell Jog, scholarships and the J. Gordon Coogler Poetry Festival Week honoring our historic Blythewood poet.
We have a beautiful, state-of-the-art events center, Doko Manor, which offers a great venue for weddings, family reunions,
business meetings and cultural events. The park surrounding Doko Manor has a popular playground and walking trail used by the community. Doko Meadows Park has also been the meeting place for many community events such as our annual 4th of July party, the Traveling Vietnam Wall, the Bluegrass Festival, the Butterfly Festival and a seasonal Farmers Market. Blythewood was proud to show off the newly completed Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union Amphitheater to a packed park with a rock ‘n’ roll concert and dedication ceremony on Oct. 26, 2017.
The Greater Blythewood Chamber of Commerce hosts many business and community leaders who share their expertise at the Chamber’s breakfast meetings and workshops. Chamber member businesses regularly host Blythewood After Five networking events, bringing business and community members together in a relaxed, social setting. Also, each year the Chamber awards a scholarship to a deserving area high school senior seeking a business-related college degree.
Our Blythewood Visitor Center is located in the Chamber of Commerce’s newly renovated office, along with Co-Work Space that is available to individuals needing periodic office space or a place to meet clients.
Our Historical Society and Museum is equally busy presenting the history of the area and sharing historical information with students and families in our area. SC Humanities and the Smithsonian recently brought a traveling exhibit, “The Way We Worked” to the Historical Society bringing many people to view the exhibit. The Rotary Club, Lion’s Club and the Hope Optimist Club are three very supportive
organizations bringing support in many areas to the citizens of Blythewood.
Blythewood is the home of many historic churches attended by generations of Blythewood families. Our local churches are known to have many community events such as Friday Food Truck Night, Friday Movie Night, a “Back to School Bash” or even be the event coordinators of our annual Blythewood Christmas Parade. One of our churches is soon to celebrate its 145th anniversary. Blythewood is a town with many family restaurants and stores. Eight businesses in our town were recently highlighted in a Historical Society “Walking Retail Tour” telling the history of their origins. A replica of our old Town Depot building will be completed soon and open for business.
Located along I-77 just 15 miles north of Columbia, S.C. and about an hour south of Charlotte, N.C., Blythewood has always been attractive to families searching for the virtues of small town living. Our town celebrates community diversity and the unique contributions each of us can make.
We have a big vision by anyone’s standards, with a detailed comprehensive, ten-year plan to get us there. We welcome you to discover Blythewood and enjoy our warm friendly attitude toward life and each other.

Contact the Greater Blythewood Chamber of Commerce:
On behalf of all our area businesses, the Greater Blythewood Chamber of
Commerce, Cowork and Visitors Center welcomes and thanks you for your interest in one of SC’s fastest growing communities. Blythewood is nestled in the rolling hills of the northeast corner of Richland County in SC’s Midlands region, just 65 miles south of Charlotte
and 15 miles north of Columbia, our state capital.
Our area offers wonderful outdoor amenities, including golf, tennis, eques-trian sports, parks, hiking, hunting, fishing, and boating; a heart for tourism; highly accredited Richland Two schools; a rich historical heritage; and an active and vibrant business community.
Located on a ridge that separates the Broad River and Catawba River water-sheds, we are home to the headwaters of several creeks that flow to both. The Catawba River flows into Lake Wateree, a popular recreation area only a 20-min-ute drive away, and then becomes the Wateree River. Located along Interstate 77, Blythewood is the entrance to the Appalachian Corridor to our north, and the gateway to the metropolitan conve-niences of our nearby capitol city. We are proud of our community and dedi-cated to the success of our neighbors. With our wonderful location, natural scenic beauty, and friendly people, Bly-thewood is an outstanding community to live, work, and visit.
Once again, welcome to Blythewood!

History of Blythewood
We haven’t always been Blythewood. The Langford Road crossing of the railroad is our point of origin.
In the early 1850’s, the Charlotte and SC Railroad built a rail line connecting Columbia and Charlotte atop a natural ridge dividing the Catawba and Broad River water shed basins. At the critical 90-miles-from-Charlotte distance, a depot and refueling post sprung up at the Langford Road crossing. It is believed the area was named Doko in 1873, from an African word meaning “where the iron horse drinks.” A water tower and plentiful trees formed our skyline.
Four years later, as the town grew up around the depot, the students at the Female Institute, a Christian school located just east of Sandy Level Church on property owned by the Bookhart family, suggested changing the area’s name to Blythewood. On Dec. 24, 1879, by an act of the SC General Assem-bly, the town was incorporated with official boundaries of 1/4 mile radius from the depot.
In the early days, railroad shipping consist-ed primarily of lumber, cordwood, shingles, pitch, tar, mineral spirits and cotton. More importantly, the railroad provided passenger service to and from the major cities that flank Blythewood and delivered products neces-sary to sustain the community around the depot. Early on, the town occupied the lower part of Fairfield County, but in 1913 the com-munity was annexed into Richland County by petition.
The historic Town Hall, built by George Hoffman in 1855, is the oldest house in Blythewood and, along with Doko Meadows Park, built in 2010, represents the historical and cultural heart of the community.
Churches and schools have always been an important part of our community. Bly-thewood and Bethel Schools opened in the early 1900’s. In the early years, Sandy Level Baptist, Bethel Baptist, Trinity Methodist, and St. Marks Lutheran provided spiritual guid-ance. Today, Blythewood has award-winning
schools, vibrant faith communities, world-class golf courses, and a freshly-constructed branch of the Richland County Public Library.
Blythewood is, in essence, an old railroad town that developed into a great community with many civic-minded citizens. From the Doko depot origin story to our modern com-munity celebrations, we value our historical assets and family traditions. Blythewood’s lasting prosperity is due to a blended com-munity of families who have lived here for generations and newcomers who care deeply about our town.

This self-guided walking tour begins and ends at the home of the Blythewood Historical
Society & Museum at 100 McNulty St. Estimated walking time is approximately one hour and 45 minutes. For a shorter walk we recommend sites within the original town center (quarter-mile radius from the depot site).
1. Langford-Nord House, 100 McNulty St.
Built ca. 1904 by Luther Langford, it now houses the Blythewood Historical Society & Museum and is a designated Richland County Landmark. Originally, the front door of the house faced Hwy 21. Members of the Langford family lived in the home until April 1988 when the Langford’s daughter, Carolyn Dangler, sold the house to the Nord family. Mrs. Cindy Nord made a gift of the house to the Blythewood Historical Society May 17, 2011.
2. Original Blythewood School, 501 Main St.
Initially, a wooden one-room school was on this site. In the 1920s, a two-story brick building and the auditorium on the left were erected. The original frame school was razed in 1939 and the gymnasium was added on the right as a Depression-era project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The two-story brick building was replaced in 1959
with the current one-story building. Blythewood School’s last graduating class received their diplomas in 1970. It housed Blythewood Elementary school from 1970 until 1991. In 1951, Blythewood School was one of the four schools that formed Richland School District Two. The small frame house to the right served in the past as the home of the school’s principal.
3. Site of Doko Depot and Water Tank, 400 Main St.
The first railroad from Coumbia to Charlotte was built in the 1850s. The depot was originally designated as the center of Blythewood, opened ca. 1870. The railroad through Blythewood was destroyed by General Blair’s Corps of the Northern Army February 20, 1865. Following the Civil War, the railroad was rebuilt
and continued to be vital to this area. The deport served Blythewood for 98 years, providing freight shipment, ticket sales, passenger service, handling the U.S. mail and the Western Union Telegraph service. The depot gradually fell into disuse and was demolished June 20, 1968.
4. Langford-Wilson Community Store, 300 Main St.
Built in 1914 by the Langford Brothers, this building has served as a general store, post office, barbershop and housed a doctor’s office. From the 1940s to the 1980s, Wilson’s Community Store was considered the heart of the town commercially, geographically and emotionally.
5. George Peter Hoffman House, 171 Langford Rd.
Now serving as Blythewood Town Hall, the Hoffman House is on the National Historic Register and is a designated Richland County Landmark. Built in 1833 by George Peter Hoffman for his bride Jane Ruff, the trees used in its construction are thought to be of the long leaf pine forest that covered what is now the town. Please note additional information on the historical marker.
6. Doko Meadows Town Park Archeological Site, 171 Landford Rd.
From June 9-11, 2009, an intensive Phase 1 archeological survey was conducted on the Hoffman House grounds. One excavation revealed a prehistoric site that appears to contain intact deposits. Deptford Check Stamped shards, quartz debitage and a Morrow Mountain projectile point, dating from the Middle Archaic and Early Woodland periods, were found in undisturbed contexts.
7. Wooten-Proctor House, 175 Langford Rd.
Built in 1925 in the Craftsman style, this is one of the earliest brick houses in Blythewood’s original town center.
8. Brookhard-Blume House, 193 Langford Rd.
Miss Emily Bookhart’s father built this house for her in 1905, when she came to teach school in Blythewood. Students came to this house to register for school. While the interior has been modernized over the years, the charm of a vernacular Southern cottage has been beautifully maintained.
9. Clara Martin Sandwich Shop, 100 McNulty St.
Mrs. Clara Booney Martin operated “The Clara Shop” in the 1950s. It was well-known for Mrs. Clara’s delicious “take out” hamburgers, hot dogs and fried fruit pies. For more than 20 years, the shop was a landmark nestled in the shade of a big sycamore tree on Wilson Blvd. (Hwy 21) in the center of Blythewood. When she closed the shop, her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Blume, moved it to its present location behind the Bookhart-Blume house.
10. Tally-Tom Boney Milk Shed, 100 McNulty St.
This weathered building embodies the characteristics of rural farm life in the Blythewood area, and serves as a visual reminder of Blythewood’s agricultural heritage. The Milk Shed provided a cool, sheltered place to keep milk, butter and other perishables.
11. Boney Hykil House, 162 Langford Rd.
Built in 1859, this is one of the oldest houses in the original town center. It has been well maintained and is close to its original condition. It has served as a family home, a printing shop for local poet J. Gordon Coogler, a gift shop, and a business office. A National Geographical Marker is embedded in the chimney that reads “1900-504.002,” marking the elevation above sea level of the area. The large cedar tree fronting on Langford Road is one of the focal points of the town’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting event.

Store, occupying the building until June 1958. The vacant building was then moved to the Wilson’s backyard at 110 McNulty St., where it remains today.
19. Langford-Wilson House, 110 McNulty St.
This house was built ca. 1905. When Miss Frances A. Powell moved to Blythewood in 1911 to become its first female Postmaster, she boarded in and later bought the house. It originally had two rooms, to which four rooms were added later. The homes features beautiful wide heart pine floors and painted wooden walls. It is among the few remaining houses that were part of Blythewood’s original town center.

12. Site of the Railroad Loading Platform, 158 Langford Rd.
When trains stopped at Doko Depot, supplies that had been ordered were unloaded here. Area farmers brought cotton bales, timber, turpentine and other agricultural products here for loading and delivery to their customers.
13. “De Sto” and Sister Building, 212 and 208 Main St.
These stores were built in 1920 and represent typical commercial architecture of that era. Originally mercantile stores, 208 was a convenience store, offically named “De Sto.” Used for a variety of purposes over the years, both structures are a significant visual feature of the original town center.
14. Jeffares-Creech House, 113 Main St.
Built ca. 1915, Elizabeth Hogan Jeffares and her four children moved into this house following the death of her husband. To support the family, Mrs. Jeffars opened a boarding house and continued to keep boarders until 1943. Most were teachers and administrators at Blythewood School, but railroad employees, business people and a few newlywed couples also boarded there. In 1942, when military training maneuvers were being conducted in the countryside around Blythewood, then Lt. Winthrop Rockefeller was one of
several officers who occasionally ate supper there.
15. St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, 101 Main St.
The church was organized in 1885, and the first building erected in 1890, about three miles west of Blythewood on Blythewood Road. A cemetery located behind that church still remains. This church was relocated to its present site in 1930. Its unique stained glass windows are the oldest of any church in the area. These memorial windows are dedicted to individuals and families important to the church.
16. Trinity United Methodist Church, corner of Blythewood and Boney Roads
The church was founded in 1887 under the name of Blythewood Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1888, a deed was signed by three of the first Trustees to purchase one acre of land for $100 to build “a place of divine worship.” In 1889, a simple white wooden building was constructed so that it faced east toward Hwy 21. This original church building was remodeled in 1949, with more renovations and additions continuing until today to accommodate the growing congregation.
17. Bethel Baptist Church, McNulty Street and Boney Road
Bethel Baptist Church, constructed in 1884, is a designated Richland County Landmark. It began as a “brush arbor” church — the congregation first met in a lean-to structure covered with brush. This practice was common in the 1700-1800s, as churches were sometimes established before congregations had the resources to build a structure. Bethel gave a portion of their land in the early 1900s to build Bethel School for African-American children in the area and was the forerunner of today’s Bethel-Hanberry School. In 1951, it became one of the four founding schools of Richland School District Two. Please note additional information on the historical marker.
18. Old Post Office/ Wilson 5-10-25 Cents Store, 110 McNulty St.
Originally located in the center of the business district of Blythewood on Hwy 21, it was built ca. 1912 by Miss Frances A. Powell, who used it as a post office until 1919. After 1919, the building was occupied by a grocery store and later by the post office in the early years of H.B. McLean’s term as postmaster. Then vacant from time to time, the Richland County Public Library had a branch there in the early 1940s. In 1952, Elton and George Frances Wilson opened Wilson’s

Doko Manor
Doko Manor first opened in March, 2013. Located in 25-acre Doko Meadows Park, the Manor features
over 5000 square feet of usable interior event space as well as spacious front porches, two picturesque back porches complete with rocking chairs, and a beautiful outside pergola bordering a small, scenic lake.
There are two origins for the name “Doko.” One story suggests Doko is an Indian name meaning “watering place.” Another claims Doko was an African name meaning “where the iron horse drinks.” Either origin is appropriate as in its earliest days, the Doko site was a stopover for steam engines taking on water and fuel. A wooden tower held the water, a feature of the Blythewood skyline, until steam engines were retired and the stopover be-came obsolete. A picture of the old water tower adorns the wall at Doko Manor.
Doko Manor is available to host social and business events including weddings,
receptions, parties, corporate retreats, business meetings, educational seminars and workshops, and civic events. The interior space includes a 3240 square-foot ballroom, an 1100 square-foot gallery/lobby, a business conference room, and a
full catering kitchen. The Manor is available seven days a week.
For more information, please contact Steven Hasterok, Manor Director at 803-754-0501 or [email protected].
The Jewel in Our CrownDOKO MANOR & DOKO MEADOWS PARK THE NEW SOCIAL CENTER FOR RECREATION, MUSIC, SPECIAL EVENTS, AND MORE
Doko Meadows Park
Doko Meadows Park is 22-acres of maintained public space including a walking trail, amphitheater,
playground, events center, and multi-purpose fields. A great community location that takes advantage of Blythewood’s mild climate all year around, Doko Meadows hosts the annual Independence Day Fireworks Display and Concert, the Blythewood Farmers Market from May to October, and various town events, concerts, shows and festivals.
Managed by the Town of Blythewood the newly completed Palmetto Citizens Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Doko Meadows was the perfect site for the Total Eclipse of the Park event. Beginning with an evening of Jazz in the Park, continuing with Movies in the Park over the weekend, and a Battle of the Bands concert early Monday, the park and amphitheater held more than 5,000 citizens and visitors during the Great North American Eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017.
The Town of Blythewood is delighted to partner with the Blythewood Garden Club for Adopt a Tree at the Doko Meadows Park. Individuals, families
and organizations can plant a tree to commemorate a special person, memory, or occasion.
The playground for kids, sturdy wooden dock, or the shaded banks of the lake all provide lovely spots for an afternoon picnic. Doko Meadows is truly one our town’s most beautiful spots!

The Other Horse Country
When you think about the traditional “Horse Country” of SC, often you will think of Camden or Aiken where
people from all over the country will often come to foxhunt, race and train. However, Blythewood SC offers our own beautiful and picturesque equine lifestyle.
The University of SC National Championship Eques-trian Team makes their home here in Blythewood. Under the leadership of Coach Boo Major, the team, housed at One Wood Farm, has had three overall na-tional championships in 2005, 2007, and 2015. Origi-nally, the USC Team was housed at a facility in Lower Richland County, but moved to One Wood Farm in the late 1990’s. Today, Coach Major wouldn’t have it any other way. She grew up in the area and feels that the community here provides a wonderful home for the members of the team.
Nestled throughout Northeast Richland County, you will find multiple farms that offer a number of ser-vices for the beginner or casual rider, to the frequent show-jumping attendee and boarding services for horses. An afternoon drive down Langford or Syrup Mill roads will lead you to a few of them:

Outdoor Fun
Hit the trail! Blythewood and its surrounding area is home to many outdoor recreation paths, trails, and parks.
Doko Meadows Park (see pg. 18) is 22-acres of maintained public space including a walking trail, amphitheater, playground, events center, and multi-purpose fields.
South Carolina’s longest pedestrian and bicycle trail, the Palmetto Trail (palmettoconservation.org) works its way through Richland County with three segments. The Capital City Passage
and the Fort Jackson Passage total 23.7 miles of walking, hiking, and biking routes through the city. The upper west part of Richland County has the Peak to Prosperity Passage, a wooded 10.8 miles including the picturesque Broad River trestle.
Lake Wateree State Park (southcarolinaparks.com/lake-wateree) meets fishing, boating, and camping needs of residents and visitors. With multiple electricity hook-ups and accommodations for even very large RVs, Lake Wateree State Park takes advantage
of a year-round mild climate to offer a variety of outdoor experiences.
Nearer to suburban conveniences, but still peacefully tranquil is Sesquicentennial State Park (southcarolinaparks.com/sesqui) on the northeast side of Richland County. With trails, bridges, and paths, Sesquicentennial is perfect for fitness and exploration. The Splash Pad water park and boat house for the centrally-located lake take advantages of warm summer sun. More than 1400 acres of pines, trails, and camping sites offer the perfect respite from the busy city so nearby.
Three rivers in our region offer scenic trails, quiet walkways, and spectacular views. The Three Rivers Greenway (riveralliance.org) is open for fitness, family strolls, and picture taking. Hugging Granby Park, West Columbia, and Cayce, the river walks are each built for family outings and friendly gatherings. Paddling, fishing, and Civil War history are all features of the river walks.
With so many trails, paths, and thoroughfares, the greater Columbia area is perfect for cycling activities. The local cycling event calendar can be found at cyclecenter.com.
Whether you’re out to explore, find peace in nature, or follow a river’s bends, Blythewood and its neighboring paths, trails, and parks have you covered.
