Hartsville is in the Pee Dee Country of South Carolina, comprising the largest town of Darlington County. It holds honoree status as an All-America City and Arbor Day Foundation Tree City. Its early days were full of some headstrong entrepreneurs, which lent the town a fair share of industry, and today it's the headquarters of Sonoco and Coker University, which has a nice botanical garden.
