Talk:Summerville, South Carolina

Details About Other Cities

The sections on tourist points of interest in North Charleston and Charleston were conspicuously out of place on an article about Summerville. There are already articles on other South Carolina cities for details about those cities. I've never seen anything like that on Wikipedia before, but if someone else has, I would be curious to see other examples of such parasitism. --Biturica (talk) 20:59, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Illegal Immigrant Ban

I think something regarding the proposed illegal immigrant ban should be mentioned in this article.VarunRajendran (talk) 14:49, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Since this is listed as a historical place in SC, shouldn't it have a history section? This article looks like it needs a bit of expansion. Anyone who is willing to take it on?

NOTES

Steeped in the history and traditions of the South Carolina Lowcountry, Summerville Features over 700 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. Day tourists flock to the town during early spring to enjoy millions of spring blossoms, particularly azaleas, in private and public gardens, including the mid-town Azalea Park.

Summerville became an official town in 1847, passing a first law prohibiting the cutting of certain-sized trees without permission, and fining offenders a then hefty $25. That ordinance, one of the oldest of its kind in the United States, is still on the books. The motto on the town's official seal is "Sacra Pinus Esto - The Pine is Sacred".

In the 1890's the International Congress of Physicians meeting in Paris, France, declared Summerville as one of the two best places in the world for the treatment and recovery of lung disorders. Such belief was founded in the purported healing aspects of that tree's turpentine scent. This led to the building of inns and hotels to handle the mass of visitors, who first came for their health and then discovering the comeliness of the town, built winter homes and often became permanent residents.

The Dorchseter II School District serving Summerville is rated as having some of the best schools in the state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.53.104.68 (talk) 20:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I moved the correct figure to population sub title. The rest of this needs to be cleaned up. Bill Ladd (talk) 20:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
