As to history of the town: Nestled in Edgefield County on a fertile plateau between clay hills and sand hills, Johnston is proudly known as 'The Peach Capital of the World.' The area was settled by the mid-1700s and gained historic note when President George Washington reportedly stopped at the Lott family plantation near today's Johnston in 1791. The town's formal beginning is tied to the railroad era. In the late 1800s, the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad expanded through this region. Dr. Edward J. Mims owned a plantation on the proposed line and successfully persuaded the railroad to pass through his land. In honor of William Johnston, president of the railroad company, the depot and eventually the town were named 'Johnston.' Johnston was founded around 1868 and incorporated in 1875, later rechartered in 1897. Much of Johnston's growth came between 1880 and 1920, when its commercial core and surrounding neighborhoods expanded. The Johnston Historic District today includes over 140 properties. Agriculture has long been a backbone of Johnston's economy. Over time, peaches emerged as a dominant crop, and today the Ridge region produces about 60% of S Carolina's peaches. The town's identity remains deeply tied to its railroad and agricultural roots.Today, Johnston has a population of just over 2,200 residents and continues to celebrate its heritage through community events and preservation of its historic charm.
