Irmo:
 

Gateway to Lake Murray

Located off the shore of Lake Murray and only ten miles from Columbia, Irmo was a sleepy little town of 500 people in the early 1970's. Today with more than 12,000 residents, Irmo is one of the country's most sought after places to live.  The town was named by combining the first two letters of the names of two railroad company men - C.J. Iredell and H.C. Moseley.

The beautiful Lake Murray provides much sought after real estate along its 528 miles of shoreline and provides a recreational paradise for the residents of Irmo.
