St. George is the seat of Dorchester County, South Carolina. In the mid-1980s, town leaders wanted to create a yearly festival for the city. Learning that the upper part of Dorchester County, where St. George is located, eats more grits per capita than any other place in the world, they decided on the World Grits Festival, which has been held each year since.
