Bluffton is a Lowcountry town in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States. It is primarily located around U.S. Route 278, between Hilton Head Island and Interstate 95.

The population was counted by the 2010 census at 12,893.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Bluffton town, South Carolina ), revised Dec. 27, 2012〕 Bluffton is the fastest growing municipality in South Carolina with a population over 2,500, growing 882.7% between the 2000 and 2010 census.〔("Census 2010: South Carolina" )''USA Today'', March 23, 2011.

Following the Tariff of 1842, Bluffton became a hotbed of separatist sentiment. In 1844 the Bluffton Movement, a protest against federal taxes, gave birth to the secession movement and led South Carolina to be the first state to leave the Union. In the antebellum period Bluffton became a popular location for wealthy merchants and plantation owners. During the Civil War two-thirds of the town was destroyed by fire during the Union's Bluffton Expedition on June 4, 1863.〔Jeff Fulgham, ''The Bluffton Expedition: The Burning of Bluffton, South Carolina, During the Civil War'' (Bluffton, S.C.: Jeff Fulgham, 2012), 155.〕
