What it’s like
The place. Smyrna is a very small town in York County, in the north of South Carolina. Winters here are cold, summers are hot, and rain falls often through the year. With so few residents, neighbours are easy to get to know.
Work. Residents of Smyrna work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, manufacturing, and shops. Across York County, unemployment is lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs rose slightly last year.
Things to do. Kings Mountain National Military Park, an archaeological site a short drive away, and Kings Mountain State Park, a protected area also a short drive away, are the closest choices. For a longer outing, Crowders Mountain State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, or Carowinds, an amusement park also a longer drive away, are good options.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
