The place. Rembert is a very small rural community in Sumter County, South Carolina, with few residents and plenty of open space around it. Homes here are valued well below what is typical for the country as a whole, and household incomes across Sumter County sit below the national middle. Winters are mild, with cool days and nights that dip to the edge of freezing in January, while summers are hot, with July the warmest month.
Work. People who live in Rembert work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in professional and business services. Across Sumter County, some of the largest workplaces are Sumter 01 Schools, Continental Tire the Americas LLC - Sumter Plant and Becton Dickinson Sumter. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. Midfield Plantation, an archaeological site, lies in or beside town, and Historic Camden Revolutionary War Site, a protected historic area, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Congaree National Park is a drive away and offers a national park setting, and Lake Wateree gives a chance to be out on the water.
