Liberty Hill is a small, spread-out community in Kershaw County, South Carolina, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a town or city. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
You can find Liberty Hill where two main roads meet: South Carolina Highway 97 and South Carolina Highway 522. It's about 19.5 miles (31.4 km) northwest of a larger town called Camden.
