The Town Of Aynor

Aynor, South Carolina—known as “The Little Golden Town”—was settled in the late 1800s and incorporated in 1913. Originally a farming community named after early landowner Mary Aynor Lewis, the town grew around a railroad terminus that brought new business and development. By the early 20th century, Aynor thrived on crops like tobacco, cotton, and turpentine. Today, it remains a close-knit community that celebrates its rural heritage, small-town charm, and slower pace of life just miles from the South Carolina coast.
