About Chapin, SC.
Chapin is a fascinating South Carolina town, often called the "Capital of Lake Murray." Throughout its history, Its population rarely topped 200 and was at one of its lowest ebbs in 1990, with just 282 residents. However, a 122.7 percent increase between 1990-2000 brought its population up to 628. Another 130.1 percent increase between 2000-2010 boosted it to 1,445, and the estimated census of 2019 is around 1,633.
This increase is primarily fueled by the city's proximity to Colombia and other South Carolina cities. As these large urban areas became more densely populated, new residents fled to smaller, more comfortable areas. As a result, Chapin has transformed, in just 30 years, into an important commercial and residential district for the site and may find itself increasing in future years.
What to Do in Chapin, SC.
Chapin's proximity to Columbia means that one of South Carolina's great cultural hubs is only a short distance away. For example, it is near Lake Murray, an artificial lake covering over 500 miles of shorelines and 50,000 acres of land. It is a popular camping and swimming destination for many residents and tourists and provides unique access to natural beauty in an urban area.
Chapin also has many outdoor park areas. Inaugurated in 1994, Crooked Tree Park is one of the best parks in the area. Cooked Tree includes health clubs, community centers, meeting rooms, walking tracks, fitness areas, racquetball courses, tennis courts, disc golf, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Shoppers who love antiques may find the Market Place of Chapin a fun place to visit.

It contains Chapin High, Middle, Intermediate, and Elementary schools and Lake Murray Elementary School, and Spring Hill High School.
The small size of Chapin means that it doesn't need many more schools than these. However, the school system also has easy access to a branch of the Lexington County Library.
