Conway, SC

Created in 1734 as the town of Kingston, Conway [see map] (pop. 11,788) is a community of tree-lined streets, historic homes and churches, and a revitalized business district as ell as being the Horry County seat. Huge, moss-draped live oaks stand along avenues, in the middle of the street or just out from the curbs, as vehicular traffic yields the right-of-way. A beautiful riverwalk is enjoyed by all Conway residents. Recreational boats often run up and down the Waccamaw River. Conway’s population is young – median age is 33 – and diverse. Households with children under age 18 make up 32.8% of the population. Median family income is $39,189.
