About Moncks Corner
Moncks Corner (about 13,000 residents) is the Berkeley County seat and the commercial hub of the county's rural half — Santee Cooper's headquarters, the county courthouse, and the retail corridor along U.S. 52 all sit here. Old Santee Canal Park (a 195-acre state park on the first canal built in America) and nearby Cypress Gardens (of The Notebook fame, with its blackwater swamp boat rides) are genuine attractions. Growth is steady: new subdivisions and apartments serve commuters to the Volvo plant, Joint Base Charleston, and North Charleston.
