The Town of Heath Springs - Honoring the Past - Celebrating the Present - Embracing the Future!
Located in Lancaster County, South Carolina just 40 minutes south of Charlotte, NC, and just an hour north of Columbia, SC, the Town of Heath Springs has been in existence for more than 200 years. With a population of just under 500 residents, we pride ourselves on maintaining the hospitality of a small Southern town while striving to improve the future for all of our residents.
In the early 1800s, the Hanging Rock Mineral Spring became well-known for its “healing, bubbling springs” and in the 1850s, the Hanging Rock Mineral Springs Inn began attracting people from many areas seeking the healthful mineral spring waters. Though Sherman’s soldiers destroyed the inn, the area around the spring, known as the Heath Spring after its new owner, had begun to grow, and eventually a post office originally called the Heath Spring Post Office was established. Later a business firm from Lancaster opened in the area—the Heath, Springs and Company, and in 1890, the town of Heath Springs was incorporated, and the post office soon changed its name to Heath Springs Post Office.
The Town of Heath Springs has a total population of 987 and was first incorporated in 1890. The Town is governed by a Mayor-Council form of government. Most functions of Town government are administered at Heath Springs Town Hall which is located at 103 Duncan Street.
The Town Council consists of 5 members elected at large and includes the Mayor who oversees all meetings. Elections are held the second Tuesday of July and are non-partisan.
TOWN COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE
Regular Council meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. The public is encouraged and welcome to attend.
