[4] As of the 2020 United States census, there were 2,445 people, 796 households, and 531 families residing in the town.

The Honda Motor Company manufactures general purpose engines, walk-behind lawn mowers, snow blowers, string trimmers, water pumps, and tillers in Swepsonville.

[citation needed] Swepsonville was named for the builder of a mill on the western side of town.

Swepson disappeared one night with a considerable amount of money and soon established a mill in the North.

The old mill, unused for many years, burned down in 1989 in a ten-alarm fire which brought firetrucks from all surrounding counties, was visible from the freeway 3 miles away, and made the national news.
