Iva
In 1886, a railroad from Charleston was completed in modern-day Iva. Settlers sought to move to the area to develop communities along the newly established railroad system. One of the prominent property owners was Dr. Augustus G. Cook, who purchased a large plantation for his family.
He named the local depot "Cook's Station", which he would later have to change as another "Cook's Station" already existed on the rail line. Shortly after, the entire community was named in honor of Dr. Cook's daughter, Iva. The area of Iva was originally a settlement, then a farming area and eventually a mill village which led to massive growth in the 1900's. Today, Iva's charming, small-town atmosphere is reflected in its friendly community and pleasant scenery.
