Historic Preservation

The Cheraw Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The boundaries include approximately 35 blocks in the historic residential and commercial areas of town. The preservation and protection of the Cheraw Historic District has always been important to the community. The Cheraw Appearance Commission was formed in 1982 to oversee new construction, demolition and rehabilitation in the district. If you own a home or business located within the historic district and expect to make changes to the property please let us assist you with the approval process. Please contact the Community Development Department at 843-537-8400.
