History
Irmo was chartered on Christmas Eve in 1890 in response to the opening of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad. The name of Irmo was the result of combining the names of Captain C.J. Iredell and Henry Moseley, two important figures in the founding of the town. Despite the town’s growth, Irmo does not have an actual downtown area. Rather, it consists of several clusters of suburban neighborhoods and commercial areas.
The Jacob Wingard Dreher House was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
