Blythewood

Blythewood, South Carolina can trace its history back to the 1850s when the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad stopped at the train depot there. The stop was not only for passengers, but water to fuel their steam engines as well. At that time the town was named Doko, which is a Native American word for watering place. During those early years of poor roads and horse-drawn vehicles, the depot was the lifeline of the community, providing transportation for cash crops, mail and telegraph communication. There are several large horse farms in the area and some of them, such as FareWell Farms and Onewood, hold events and competitions such as dressage in which local riders can compete. Long Creek Equestrian Centre offers lessons, boarding and trail rides.

Golf is a favorite pastime of residents in the area, boasting several different sites for the Blythewood populace.
