Coward, SC

united states

Coward sits about 15 miles northeast of Florence along US Highway 52, the main route connecting this small South Carolina town to larger cities. The flat coastal plain terrain and humid subtropical climate create typical lowcountry conditions. Visitors from Charleston (75 miles) or Columbia (100 miles) can reach Coward via I-95 to Florence, then US 52 north. The town was named after early settlers who ran the original general store.
